The nation’s top auto makers will no longer be building small cars in the United States by 1994, said a study by Integrated Automotive Resources Inc. of Wayne, Pa. The firm said General Motors Corp., Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler Corp. will have surrendered the small car market by then to Japanese and other Far East producers, including “transplant” companies that set up shop on American soil. Such companies will have better management, newer equipment and more favorable state and local tax breaks than the Big Three car makers, thereby lowering their production costs, said the study, titled “A Battle for Survival: U.S. Automotive Markets 1988 to 1997.”
