Automakers -- which poured in billions of dollars in the past 20 years to bulk up factories in China -- now need to view future expansion plans in a different light. American car sales have fallen for the sixth month in a row , increasing pressure on global car manufacturers, which have relied on the market for November . November saw domestic sales of multipurpose vehicles, sports utility vehicles and sedans drop 18% to 2.05 million units, according to the China Passenger Car Association . The decline, alongside falling sales in North America and Europe , means car manufacturers have few places left to look for growth.
