Killing the EV mandates and subsidies will cause electric cars to be sold on their own merits. The rest of us will have our tax burdens eased a little.

[opencarry]

I want an ICE vehicle, 1990s tech, design, and reliability.

[MRDDev]

Funny is once they remove all the mandates the big winner will be Toyota who never force itself into EVs

Greedy auto dealers are a big problem. Outrageous add ons and equally outrageous service prices. The manufacturers have to make affordable cars no more $40, 000 base model cars and trucks.

The average worker makes $50-60k per year. The average new car price is $50k. Something is wrong here.

Lauren Fix hits the nail on the head. She’s level headed and do not buy into the masses delusions. Kudos to Lauren.

The Auto industry is a total mess in so many ways!

As usual, another fine report! I have fallen in love with your reporting style—succinct and to the point(s).

“We’ll have to shift to whatever the consumer wants rather than the mandates the government put in place” 40 seconds in. Yes. Please. Let us buy what we want. Why did we need an election for that!

[SNAZ]

Honestly, Jan 20th can’t get here soon enough 👊🏻🇺🇸

'Forcing' the market to build what consumers want. What a novel concept. I wonder why nobody ever tried that before

[genesmay]

2016 base GM 4x4 2500 HD V8 truck was $43, 000 in Jan, by Sept. It dropped to $33, 000 to make room for 2017 models etc. Ridiculous what these vehicles have increased to.

[ralphbuschman]

Honestly 99.9 % of cars sold in America are of ZERO INTEREST TO ME. I do want a Japanese Domestic Market vehicle, KEI type cars, vans and trucks!

[andyharman]

Trump should also eliminate CAFE and CO2 emissions standards.

[Dancingpastmidnight]

Great interview, Lauren! I am excited about next year and even plan a new vehicle purchase.

[charleskennedy]

My dad made good money working for GM back in the 60’s . America made auto manufacturing got shipped to other country’s . And now we are paying the price .

[erty]

Americans don't want mandates with track and trace equipment built in our vehicles. Our phones are bad enough. Some of our lawmakers haven't caught on to that.

[karoltakisobie]

We need affordable economy class cars back. Average age of cars on road is climbing like crazy for a reason. Not everyone needs, wants or can afford SUV with bells and whistles.

[bikerdude]

The auto industry canceled all the low and medium priced vehicles to make the most profits (greed) and its caught up with them. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

[tommybryant]

If you want an electric car buy you shouldn't force to buy it
