John Vincent, senior editor and automotive correspondent for U.S. News & World Report, has more than 25 years of experience covering the auto industry.
In addition to reviewing vehicles, he has vast expertise in auto financing, leasing and buying. He’s also an expert observer and commentator regarding the current United Auto World strike.
As the strike approaches its one-month duration, Vincent is our guest on this episode of The Weekly Driver Podcast.
Co-hosts Bruce Aldrich and James Raia discuss with the veteran writer the current status of the strike and what it means to the automakers and union members.
How have the communities throughout the Detroit area been affected? Has the strike changed the industry for consumers?
Does Vincent see the strike ending soon or could it continue into 2024? How does the Biden Administration view the current situation?
We also discuss with Vincent the automotive industry’s focus on electric vehicles and what it may or may not mean to consumers.
Please join us for a 30-minute insight into the strike from an industry and sought-after media guest.
A member of the North American Car, Truck and Utility Vehicle of the Year Awards (NACTOY) jury, Vincent joined U.S. News & World Report after a long newspaper career at The (Portland) Oregonian and The Portland Tribune.
