No definitive information but the same vehicles still sit at the dealer. In fact, my friend has been trying to sell his for almost two years. Here in the US the dealers are buying the used ones and selling them for full price.

I think if cars are hanging around in the UK and the US sales must be down. I can tell you on this side of the pond besides what the media thinks, our economy is still not close to where it should be for these kind of purchases.

In the US we do not pre register. What is that? They could be doing that to show sales if registering a vehicle in the UK counts as a sale. Sounds weird.
