Bank loans have pretty attractive interest rates these days. Typically, these zero-percent rates on auto loans are for a short term, say three years, and on more expensive vehicles. People end up buying the car, but use a bank loan to do so. Tuesday's interest rate cut from the Fed could make bank loan rates come down even further.

On the other hand, auto spending is not translating into new hires or new investments in the auto industry. And that's true across industries.

How you are going to finance something is as or more important than what you will be driving. You need to check banks and credit unions, and of course, with the financing manager at the dealer itself, to be able to arm yourself with the knowledge you need to negotiate.

[GM and other auto makers also will be hard-pressed to make the $15,000-plus in per-vehicle profits they made back then.] We aren't riding on these [new] vehicles to save the company, ... There are a number of other attractive alternatives in the market.

Money market and checking account rates are more closely tied to Fed activity. Some banks are offering higher interest rates on checking and money market accounts, but these are promotional rates that are temporary and do not affect the core product interest rate.

We expect to see continued, although slower growth in housing. Higher interest rates will tend to dampen home sales somewhat.
