World car sales, hurt by recession, are expected to fall by 3.3% in 1991 to 34.4 million, which would rank it as the largest downturn since the second oil shock in 1980, industry forecaster DRI/McGraw Hill said. But global car sales were forecast to rebound almost 5% in 1992 and to maintain a steady upward rise of 3.3% a year to 1995, it said.
