“FOX News just reported that one third of auto loan applications in the past week were denied. “

It seems like stories like this are more common. I don't see how we will have a quick recovery when stuff like this is going on all over the place.
And it is not just media hype, credit has been contracted quite a bit.

My guess is that consumers have pulled in the reins a lot in the past 4 weeks, and that statistics haven't picked it up yet.

CNBC has reported several times this week that the approval rate for 800+FICO new auto loans is about 80%.

Twenty percent of 800 FICOs turned down!
