Some predict a swift rebound once dealerships in the affected areas reopen and as people seek to replace their flood-damaged vehicles. Continued rain and floods from Harvey added to the misery in parts of Texas on Tuesday. Harvey struck over the weekend, leaving at least 10 dead, thousands of people displaced, and scores injured as the floodwaters rose. Texas accounts for about 9% of U.S. vehicle retail...
