General view of the assembly line of the new Ford Fiesta in Cologne, February 4, 2013. Europe's car sales fell last month to their lowest February level in at least 23 years, industry figures showed March 19, 2013, dwindling to the sort of trickle usually only seen during the August holiday when cities are empty. Ford Motor Co has been one of the biggest casualties, with sales dropping at twice the rate of the overall market's decline for a third straight month. Its sales dropped 20.8 percent to 53,660 cars. Ford is cutting back its European production capacity with three plant closures, including its Genk factory in Belgium, to stem regional losses. Picture taken February 4, 2013.
