'Auto Trends' Celebrates 9 Years On The Air

 

Nine years ago this weekend Auto Trends with JeffCars.com drove onto the airwaves in Atlanta with a monthly program. Today the program is the only and the longest running weekly syndicated multicultural automotive radio program airing in North America. This expansion into North America is due to our partnership with HURVoices and SiriusXM, the largest audio entertainment group in the United Station. 

While it took nearly fifteen years to turn this dream into reality, getting the program on air, it's been a ride and grind we couldn't have imagined. When the high-energy multicultural program was launched, our focus then and now continues to center around pioneers, influencers and trendsetters in the industry. And just like founder John Johnson's Ebony magazine, our car-themed program was also created to share the stories of the voiceless.

For the second consecutive year, the Korean brands grabbed the top three spots. Genesis, which is the most recent luxury brand to hit the streets, competes head on with such established makes as Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Lexus. Genesis garnered the number one spot, as a brand, for the 2019 model year.
