here s why younger car buyers are more open to chinese cars

Hey all, it's podcast time again!

This week we chat with Robby DeGraff from AutoPacific about why younger buyers are more open to buying Chinese cars, despite potential privacy concerns.

Yours truly was also at the NASCAR Chicago Street Race in person, so TTAC contributor Matthew Guy and I discuss that to add to our already extensive coverage.

We also talk about LED garage lighting with Matthew Guy.

We thank Robby and Matthew for their time, and Matt Posky for editing. As always, we thank you for listening!

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

  It's hard to make "privacy" a concern when the domestic and other (mainly Japanese) manufacturers have been collection and sending driving data to insurance companies (and trying to hide the fact they have been doing this.)

Yes agree, not sure if mostly Japanese is fact. I think all manufactures / all countries. perhaps more on some countries.

28-Cars-Later Suggestion for future QOTD: Given the fact US road infrastructure is crumbling around us why must all new cars have 20+ inch wheels with tires an inch or two thick in sidewall which literally become bent over time bc of potholes? I know initially in the 90s wheels got bigger to accommodate larger disc brakes but its gone a little too far given the road infrastructure don't ya think?

SCE to AUX I can't warm up to the new look. Still prefer my 22 SF.
SCE to AUX I guess the direct sales stores weren't polled. Unless dealers are going out of business, I don't feel one bit sorry for them. They should most fear the mfrs who are eager to get rid of them, reducing costs and increasing customer satisfaction.
