'Auto Trends' Talks About The Corona Era And The State Of The Auto Industry - Past, Present And Future (A Two-Part Show)

Since the last recession, the auto industry has literally been on a roll, as automakers battle between building more trucks and crossovers, while being pushed to focus on the future with electric cars and self driving vehicles. However, with the Coronavirus era in full effect, the game has now changed in the industry. Auto analysts from Detroit's LMC Automotive and New York's Bloomberg Intelligence join Auto Trends with JeffCars.com for a wide-ranging, two-part conversation, as we examine the state of the car industry, while looking in reverse and forward.

In our first show,  we'll discuss in detail the current state of the car industry - both in the U.S. and globally - looking at the past, present and future. Our insightful analysts will discuss how this moment in history compares and contrasts to The Great Recession of 2008 and to 9-11.

And during our second show, we'll delve into the tipping point for consumers, as the average new car transaction hoovers near $40,000. We'll discuss the pros and cons of  what some automakers are doing to stimulate showroom traffic both online and offline. We'll also talk about which automakers continue to cater to entry level buyers and why some automakers have backed away from this segment. Moreover, we'll tackle why some vehicles are cracking the $100,000 mark. With that being the case, is there a correlation between the $100,000 price point, electric vehicles and low gas prices? Lastly, why is Tesla seemingly the only automaker making a dent in the electric car market?

Come ride with us as Katelyn Drake of LMC Automotive and Kevin Tynan of Bloomberg Intelligence guides us over the next few weeks.
