"European car sales still going in reverse"

"In the ongoing car crisis in Europe, auto sales in June plummeted to their lowest level since 1996. Major carmakers like BMW expect national car markets in the EU to continue shrinking for at least another year.
Registrations of new cars in the 28-member European Union totaled 1,134,042 in June - a fall of 5.6 percent compared with the same month last year, the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA) said Tuesday.
.
According to ACEA data, the United Kingdom was the only car market to expand last month as sales grew 13.4 percent. Other major EU markets contracted sharply with auto sales in France slipping most significantly at a rate of 8.4 percent, ahead of Italy, minus 5.5 percent and Germany, down 4.7 percent.
.
Noting that June sales were the lowest for the month since 1996, ACEA attributed the ongoing sales crisis to high unemployment and a protracted recession in most EU countries."

E se esta queda não se dever em exclusivo ao elevado desemprego e à conjuntura económica recessiva?
.
E se também estiver relacionada com a evolução demográfica europeia?
.
E se também estiver relacionada com a evolução do estilo de vida e dos valores do europeu médio?
.
E se também estiver relacionada com a evolução de novos modelos de negócio baseados na partilha e aluguer?

Certezas? Não tenho; contudo, acho perigoso escolher uma resposta tão fácil.
