Detnews Article On The Changing Face Of Vehicle Markets

[emu steve]

Couple of takeaways to start the discussion:

1). Market is moving from the traditional car to trucks and SUVs. Some like those vehicles but I dislike to park next to them in the parking lots.

2). Traditional cars will be increasingly be made in China. Trump wants to bring them back to U.S. [[from Mexico) but he's a little late on that one. China, China, China... or tariff, tariff, tariff.

3). Move toward EV.

RE #1 The big fear here is if something happens to the price of oil and gas. Everyone need a truck? Single persons/childless couple need a SUV? What happens if the price of gas goes up a buck?

Vehicles are so important to the U.S. because they provide transportation, employment, have significant energy and carbon footprint considerations, etc. and even the size of parking spaces in front of your local grocery store.
