October 2024

As we approach the final stretch of the 2024 US presidential election, both Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump have both made a number of public comments about their ideas and policy proposals that would impact both car shoppers and the automotive industry as a whole. These remarks, including proposals on import tariffs, electric vehicles (EVs), and tax policies related to car ownership, reveal how the automotive sector may soon evolve for consumers, dealers, and manufacturers.
