High prices, tightening incentives, and global uncertainty—Q2 was anything but predictable for the U.S. light-vehicle market.
In this episode, hosts Camron Wilson and Michael Hayes are joined by Patrick Manzi, Chief Economist at the National Automobile Dealers Association, for the first installment of NADA’s new Quarterly Economic Report series. Patrick breaks down the key forces that shaped Q2’s market dynamics, from shifts in consumer demand and inventory levels to the real-world impact of tariffs and affordability challenges.
They also get into what’s ahead for Q3—why used inventory could become critical, how hybrid sales are outpacing EVs, and what dealers should really be watching as inflation and interest rates put more pressure on customers’ wallets.
If you’re looking for grounded insights and actionable perspective on what the data actually means, you’ll want to hit play.
