The Holt forecasting model with trend is used to predict future values by considering both the level and trend of the data. Using the given weights $w = 0.6$ and $v = 0.5$, and applying the model to the sales data from 1980 to 1985, the forecast for 1990 is calculated to be approximately 8.952 million cars.
