21、apanese dispute on certain Japanese brands sales figures:Dongfeng Nissan JV recorded a 35%YoY decline in sales volumeDongfeng Honda JV recorded a 19%YoY decline in sales volumeMazda recorded a c.35%YoY decline in sales volumeMeanwhile,given that we have been arguing that Chinas overall auto demand i
22、s in agradual recovery mode with the troughing of consumption sentiment,we have seensome decent pick-up in sales for certain non-Japanese brands,partly augmented by theshift in demand away from Japanese brands:Dongfeng PSA JV recorded 9%YoY growth in sales volumeThe three Germany luxury brands(Audi,
23、Mercedes Benz and BMW)recorded29%YoY growth in sales volume(as there is a further shift from mid-/high-endJapanese auto demand to entry-level luxury demand)Hyundai and Kia altogether recorded 9.5%YoY growth in sales volumeWe believe that while the island dispute has been deterring sales of Japanese
24、brands,the impact on overall China auto sales is likely to be more muted as 1)genuine demandfor cars still exists,and 2)there is spare capacity at other brands in China to absorbpotential customers shying away from Japanese auto brands.As such,currently,westill expect China auto demand growth to sta
25、y positive during September-December,and see no reason to downgrade our full-year China auto sales forecast.Cutting our expectations for Japanese brands salesIn October,we think we could see a wholesale decline for Japanese brands of a similarmagnitude to that in September.While the peak of the anti
26、-Japanese demonstrationactivities in China was in mid-September,and hit Japanese auto retail hard in thesecond half of September,the monthly wholesale figures were buffered by orders taken,Page 2,Deutsche Bank AG/Hong Kong,10 October 2012Automobiles&ComponentsChina passenger car sectorearly in the m
27、onth or in late August.According to our channel checks with dealers,demand for Japanese brands vehicles,although recovering from the trough,is stillweak.As such,this will likely be reflected in October sales numbers.Assuming media coverage of the island dispute will gradually tail off,we expect agra
28、dual recovery of Japanese auto brand demand in November-December in Chinaeven if there is no resolution.Therefore,in aggregate we slash our September-December forecast for the various Japanese JV brands we cover by c.25%.For 2013-14E,we prudently assume anti-Japanese sentiment could linger and hence
29、trim our sales volume forecast by c.10%.We do not expect more severe long-termdemand damage given the potential negative impact on local economies that the JVsoperate in(e.g.employment not only at the plant,but also at part suppliers plants,taxrevenues to local governments,etc).In other words,we for
