Coronavirus Impacts Auto Parts

Corona virus is starting to impact the auto industry.

Will corona virus affect the number of vehicles available in showrooms?
Parts from China are being disrupted. Some of the auto plants in Mexico are feeling the pinch, suspending production in the coming weeks.
About 80-percent of the vehicles made in Mexico are sent to the U-S for sale.
The first to be impacted are plants operated by Nissan and Mercedes.
GM and Ford are not affected yet.
Analysts at the Center For Auto Research say the full impact of problems with the parts supply from China will not be felt for several more weeks.
