We dissect how this turmoil is creating waves for dealerships and consumers alike, and the potential impact on the festive season.Every crisis brings change - and the current UAW strike is no different. As we enter the second segment of our show, we ponder over a fascinating question - could this strike alter brand loyalty among consumers? Will they start steering clear of their favorite automakers, driven by public opinion and strike fatigue? We take a deep look at the data of the top five automakers, the potential cost shifts that could result from the proposed UAW contract, and the possible implications on consumer behavior.Switching lanes in the final segment, we steer towards the realm of car racing and unreliable vehicles. Ever wondered which models are labeled the most unreliable? Jeff Dziekan has the rundown on the seven most unreliable car models from GMC, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Genesis, Jeep, Tesla, and Lincoln. And remember, we're not just about serious discussions. Join us for our live show every Saturday morning, for the Gulf Coast Auto Shield car social and the In Wheel Time car show.
