雖然Suzuki仍未發佈上月的銷售資料，但估計這個日本品牌不太可能成為唯一倖存者。
對！當看到9月全美汽車銷售資料統計時，想必所有業界同仁都會心灰意冷。2008年9月，所有在美國銷售汽車的生產商和單個品牌，無論從日均銷售率計算，抑或從總銷量計算，與去年同期相比都呈現下降趨勢。現時還無法證實是否開創了歷史先河，但至少在2006年以來，從未有過如此光景。
與去年同期相比，汽車生產商當中，跌幅最小的是GM，總銷量和日均銷售率分別下降15.8%和12.3%；跌幅最大的是Nissan北美集團，總銷量和日均銷售率分別下降36.8%和34.2%！
汽車品牌商當中，此前一直維持逆市而上的Mini終於敗下陣來，9月總銷量和日均銷售率的跌幅分別為6.7%和2.8%；Audi是9月的大贏家，但贏取的僅僅是跌幅最小，總銷量和日均銷售率分別下降5.4%和1.5%；至於最大輸家，毋庸置疑是Hummer------已經連續N各月成為跌幅大王，總銷量和日均銷售率分別下降54.8%和52.9%！如此下去，真擔心Hummer很快就會從人們的視野中消失。
