Euro finance coupled with the US, suffers as much. Other countries are facing spill over. Let explain spill over:

You have automakers that have banks that finance. They go to other countries and use that money to finance cars to keep their factories going. They are in trouble, their factories are in trouble too.

Brazil's carmakers has now 300K cars in their yards, the equivalent of 56 days production. That means sending people home until the yards clear. Since the sector has been over-financed, and anyone who need or could afford a car already have one, those 56 days metrics is a bit fluffy. Those 56 days may turn out to be between 80 to 112 days.
