The dream of transition to a 'consuming' economy just crashed into the wall of excess debt and leverage. 2016 has started with a 44% collapse in China passenger car sales. This is the biggest sequential crash and is 50% larger than any other plunge in history. Coming at a time when vehicle inventories are near record highs relative to sales, the world's automakers - all toeing the narrative line that growth will be from China - now face a harsh reality of massie mal-investment deja vu.
