Fleet sales would track pretty closely to rental car use (and therefore travel), right? If so, why would bankruptcies among mostly-commoditized rental car companies impact automaker bottom lines? Avis needs to buy more cars to make up for the volume spike from Hertz' reduction, keeping aggregate sales constant relative to a no-bankruptcy scenario.
