Earn Our High Rates Chrysler Chairman Predicts Sales Dogfight DETROIT (UPI) Production capacity for cars and trucks in the United States will exceed consumer demand by 25 percent in 1986, making it "the year of the customer, says Chrysler Motors Chairman Gerald Greenwald But Greenwald, in a news conference and a speech to the Economic Club of Detroit, said it will be a dogfight" year for the automakers. He said Japan could capture another 5 percent of the domestic market, Korea pick up 2 percent and foreign-designe- d cars assembled in America could grow from 4 to 6 percent. Add all that together, and get ready to be shocked because you find that Detroit automakers could lose about 10 points of market share by 1986," he said. "Ten points of share is worth about $3 billion profits in car business. Even more important, its worth about another 300,000 lost American jobs." Greenwald said 22 or 23 of the 26 auto companies competing in the United States are foreign and seven or eight more are on the way. There's going to be 25 percent more productive capacity, including imports and what I call transplants, than there is consumer demand for cars," he said. This is going to be the year of the customer, this is going to be the year the customer is king." In resonse to questions about reports in industry publications that American car makers will be out of the small car market by 1989, Green wald said Chrysler will not willingly surrender that segment. Id say were the underdog," he said But we at Chrysler are pretty good at playing that game." Meeting the challenge, he said, will require American auto makers to remove $2,000 from the cost of building each vehicle and to persuade buyers that American quality is as good as available anywhere. Greenwald said Chryslers board of directors Monday approved a $1 billion increase in its five-yeproduct and capital spending program, from $11 5 billion to $12.5 billion. A record $3 4 billion will be spent on new products and upgrading factories, he said.
