About this episode
GM and Hyundai are co-developing five vehicles, including compact SUVs, pickups, and an electric commercial van, targeting launches by 2028 with unique brand designs. Despite rising sales, Subaru and Toyota report profit declines largely due to US tariffs, which have cost automakers nearly $12 billion and are expected to impact profits for years.
