  • The Auto Market Bubble Is Here!
    Prices plummet as chip shortages hit production, affecting new car inventory. Low-interest rates spiked demand, leading to record-high payments. Longer ownership trends and intentional supply control by automakers contribute to the shake-up. Tesla's price slash influences a 33% drop, with used electric vehicles outnumbering new ones. Dealerships face risks due to rising interest rates, and an auto loan bubble sees record delinquencies. Buyers, now in a prime negotiating position, should navigate the changing market wisely. Remember, cars aren't investments.

  • Pulling The Plug on Forced Electric Vehicles
    In a fervent push towards electric vehicles (EVs), the government's rapid mandates clash with market realities. Toyota's Chairman, Akio Toyoda, advocates for a balanced strategy, emphasizing investments in alternatives like hybrid technology and hydrogen. Concerns arise as substantial funds with ties to the Chinese government pour into EV-related projects.

    Despite government incentives, Ford and GM face challenges, scaling back ambitious EV production plans and raising questions about profitability. Tesla reports diminishing margins. Additionally, the lack of financial controls poses risks to taxpayers. This approach, akin to communist-style central planning, jeopardizes America's transportation leadership. It's time for policymakers to reassess investments in unproven technologies for a balanced and informed future.

  • Survey Reveals Ontario Car Dealerships Gouging Customers!
    Today's revelation of car dealers coercing customers to purchase unwanted add-ons, risking denial of the sale, is deeply troubling. With 37% of new car buyers forced into mark-ups ranging from $1,000 to $10,000, transparency in the car-buying process is under scrutiny.

    The pandemic's lingering impact, causing delays of one to six months for new car deliveries, further exacerbates the challenges. The practice of "tied selling," though not illegal, raises ethical concerns, emphasizing the need for increased scrutiny and consumer advocacy in the automotive industry.
