The earthquake in Japan is soon to have an effect on the auto industry. According to the article I found, about 600,000 vehicles will be lost by the time everything calms down. A lot of auto part assemblies are shut down in Japan, which means that as soon as auto makers around the world run out of supplies they will be forced to shut down or slow production down. Even though that will not have any lasting affects on the industry, it will cause it to loose a substantial amount of money.
