Automakers predict 6th year of 15 mln vehicle sales GENERAL MOTORS CORP, FORD MOTOR and DAIMLERCHRYSLER AG expect a sixth consecutive year of high sales of around 15 mln vehicles in the U.S., the New York Times said. Most auto executives expressed optimism for 1999, however, difficulties in the world's two largest markets, Europe and North America, would create serious problems for multinational auto makers, the Times said. "We will see a possible slowdown but we definitely don't see a recession in 1999, as far as the U.S. and Europe are concerned," DaimlerChrysler's co-chairman Juergen Schrempp told the paper. Outside the U.S. and Europe, auto sales in Japan, Southeast Asia and Latin America have lagged far behind the U.S. and Europe. (Reuters 07:24 AM ET 01/04/99)
