Ghosn said: “I don't see it (a recovery) in Europe before 2011. I see 2010 at the same level of 2009, with ups and downs.
“If scrapping incentives were to continue for a while, it would be a different story. Stopping the incentives would have a recessionary impact.”
Ghosn also said that he expected the US car market to recover sooner, possibly by the end of 2009.
