Description

The world is reeling from the economic effects of the Coronavirus! Nowhere is that more evident than in GM's decision to pull out of Australia and Thailand with its flagship brand and Holden. Executive Publisher for Autotrader, Kelly Blue Book, and Dealer.com, Karl Brauer, discusses this issue and also how to get the most out of your used vehicle and the Kelley Blue Book "Instant Cash Offer" feature. Next up, Automotive Journalist, BJ Killeen, chats about the new, hot electric/hydrogen powered truck company on the scene, Nikola Motor Company. We also explore how increased safety standards may well be the only reason Ryan Newman is still walking after his Daytona 500 crash. Then, we discuss Uber's new option that lets you opt out of conversation with your driver, with Autotrader Executive Editor, Brian Moody. We also talk about Autotrader's list of the fastest and affordable used trucks found on their site, tech features for long road trips, the Nissan Altima, and the allure of the Kia Telluride. Tune in for more!
