Honda Civics, 22-day supply for Kia cars, a 23-day supply for the Ford Focus and a 43-day supply for the Ford Fiesta. Most see the production disruption as a short-term factor likely to dampen spring and summer sales but not change this year’s total volume. GM kept its 2011 sales forecast at 13 million to 13.5 million. AutoNation’s outlook is unchanged at 12.8 million. “The year will unfold differently from month to month,” AutoNation CEO Mike Jackson said. “But the fundamental demand is there — that has not changed.” Consulting firm IHS Automotive says U.S. dealers with domestic or European brands will be affected as Japanese parts shipments to manufacturers outside Japan also run dry by early May. “The supplier production squeeze that shut down Japanese auto production is just weeks away from doing the same to American auto production, and is likely to last for much of the second and third quarter,” said IHS analyst Aaron Bragman. He warned that while non-Japanese automakers will have a chance to make inroads on Japanese manufacturers in the spring, they will face their own product shortages by summer. Bragman said that with American automakers already using Japan-made parts for “everything from Hitachi mass air flow sensors to Merck paint pigments, any advantage they have over their Japanese competitors on dealer inventory is unlikely to last the summer.” c Mark Rechtin and Laurén AbdelRazzaq contributed to this report
