New car? A desire to 6.2 million Italians

According to a survey carried out by Doxa on behalf of GL events Italy - the company that organizes the Bologna Motor Show - 12% of the adult population Italian said he was inclined to buy a new car by the end of 2011. A surprising amount, as it represents 6.2 million people and could even increase if there were no ecoincentivi state: in this case, the percentage would be 21% or more of a motorist out of 5.

In disclosing this percentage was the managing director Giada Michetti, who has also highlighted how the sector of the 4 wheels is always in the hearts of Italians, as the 5% of the adult population of the Bel Paese - € 2.6 million people - has expressed an interest to visit the next Motor Show in 2011, to be held from 3 to 11 December in Bologna.

Although not always an intention to purchase results in a transaction, the amounts collected is important and certainly bodes well for manufacturers. "It takes, however, specific responses from the institutions," he said Michetti, stressing as well as other actors in the chain of the car are called for a discussion table with the government in order to reaffirm the strategic importance of this industry for the company Italy.

The Unrae, the union of foreign manufacturers in Italy, meanwhile, has confirmed the prediction that sees 1.81 million cars sold in the Peninsula in 2011. Slightly more cautious instead Gian Primo Quagliano, Promotor president, who estimates that do not exceed 1,775,000 share, given that the market has stalled and is reminiscent of the mid-nineties, when it sold a similar number of cars.
