Things are going from bad to worse for Nissan. Struggling with weak sales and an ageing lineup, the Japanese carmaker has announced a sweeping restructuring plan, aiming to save €3 billion in costs. It plans to cut 15 percent of its global workforce and close seven of its 17 plants worldwide.  Plus, Samsung has released its latest model of Galaxy S that is less than 6mm thick. The Korean tech firm accelerated its release schedule as Donald Trump's tariffs were threatening to impact consumer spending. 

On one hand, tariffs are causing significant disruption in the global automotive industry. On the other, the electric vehicle (EV) market continues to surge, seemingly unaffected. According to the latest Q1 2025 data from Rho Motion, 4.1 million EVs were sold globally in Q1 2025—a 29% year-over-year increase compared to Q1 2024. Growth is particularly strong in China (+36%), followed by Europe (+22%) and North America (+16%).To help make sense of these opposing dynamics—and to assess which OEMs are likely to lead or fall behind—Laurent and Gerard have brought in a top-tier expert: Michael J. Dunne. Michael is the CEO of Dunne Insights LLC, a San Diego-based firm specializing in electric vehicles, autonomous driving, and battery supply chains. With over three decades of experience, Michael has held prominent roles including President of General Motors Indonesia and Managing Director of JD Power China. He is also the author of American Wheels, Chinese Roads (2011), and the host of the podcast Driving With Dunne.Key Insights from Our Conversation:China: BYD reigns supreme, followed by legacy brands, tech giants, and emerging players.Japan: Toyota, the shogun of the market, stands tall—while the rest struggle to keep up.Korea: A tale of strong potential under threat.Germany: VW appears stuck in reverse, Mercedes feels increasingly "Chinese," and BMW navigates a narrow path.USA: Stellantis, Ford, and GM—industries in limbo, often described as “zombies.”The Wild Card: Tesla. With Elon at the helm, anything is possible—genius or chaos.Across all regions, we forecast who the likely winners are, who may barely survive, and who seem destined for the dustbin of history.

The twin cities of Windsor, Canada, and Detroit, United States, separated only by a river, have a long history as automotive manufacturing hubs.

The typical automobile manufactured in North America crosses national borders at least six times before it's ready to be sold. Tariffs are expected to increase US auto prices by thousands of dollars as companies establish new supply chains and onshore manufacturing with higher production costs. In this episode, we talk with Jonathan Smoke, Chief Economist with Cox Automotive, about the complexity of auto manufacturing supply chains, tariffs' impacts on prices and employment in the auto sector, and the outlook for a less globally integrated auto industry.

French carmaker Citroën, part of Stellantis, launched a new SUV model this Tuesday in Paris in a bid to turn around sales that have dropped over 10 percent in the first quarter of the year.

Capital One is looking at ways to expand the use of AI-based agents on the heels of launching its agentic AI-based tool, Chat Concierge, earlier this year.Chat Concierge answers customer queries and can help with tasks such as comparing available vehicles and exploring financing options online before consumers head to a dealership.  In building its tech stack, Capital One reviewed how consumers use AI-based tools, the types of questions they ask, and how digital communication can be used to drive customers into the dealership, Annie Fallows, head of the bank's dealer-facing Navigator Platform, told Auto Finance News. Navigator Platform, launched in 2023, allows dealers to access information such as inventory searches and pre-qualification to provide more accurate financing offers to customers. “We made an intentional choice that we wanted to lead with being helpful versus lead with immediately trying to collect [a customer's] name and contact info,” she said. “Our dealers are able to take all that information about what's happened on the chat to pick up in store and get to that car sale that everyone is working for. This is just the beginning of the journey.” The bank is reviewing ways to improve Chat Concierge and apply it to other operations both internally and externally, Fallows said, “whether that's making our associates more effective [or] looking at additional places in the dealer process that would benefit from this type of interaction.  “We're at the beginning of a new journey, and it starts with making sure that our models and our technology are working the way that they're intended and providing high-quality interactions.” Capital One's auto originations rose 22.4% year over year in the first quarter to $9.2 billion, while the bank's auto book ticked up 5.2% YoY to $77.7 billion, according to the bank's April 22 earnings supplement. During this special episode of the “Weekly Wrap,” podcast, Auto Finance News Editor Amanda Harris and Capital One's Fallows discuss the latest trends in customer experience, dealer relations and technology.

EASY LISTENING DEP'T.

Michigan’s auto industry is at the forefront of the economic turmoil brought on by the Trump administration’s tariffs. The Wall Street Journal’s Jeanne Whalen tells us about the impact on manufacturers and workers so far. Flight attendants who work for the airline that’s overseeing most of the federal government’s deportation flights told ProPublica’s McKenzie Funk that they don’t feel like they can treat passengers humanely — or keep them safe. Johnson & Johnson played a much larger role in the opioid crisis in America than many people realize. In his new book, ‘No More Tears: The Dark Secrets of Johnson & Johnson’ — and in our latest episode of Apple News In Conversation — Gardiner Harris reports that the company’s products have led to the deaths and injuries of millions of people. Plus, Trump said the U.S. is in direct talks with Iran over Tehran’s nuclear program, major storms in parts of the Midwest and South killed at least 24 people across multiple states, Chief Justice John Roberts paused a court order to bring a mistakenly deported Maryland man back to the U.S., and how a social-media rumor led to serious stock-market whiplash yesterday. Today’s episode was hosted by Shumita Basu.

President Donald Trump recently described tariffs as a bitter medicine that, the president says, will lead to fairer trade between the U.S. and other countries. But for Michigan’s auto industry, the poison might be in the dose. On this episode, why the impact of global tariffs is likely to hit Michigan automakers particularly hard.

In this episode, we break down the current tariff situation impacting the automotive industry and what it means for both consumers and dealers. With a 25% tariff on imported vehicles now in effect, automakers like Hyundai, Kia, and Honda are making big moves to shift production to the U.S.—while others, like BMW, may be raising prices.   We talk about why March was a record-breaking month for car sales, how some brands are handling the pressure, and what customers can expect when it comes to pricing and availability moving forward. If you're in the market for a new car—or in the business of selling them—this episode offers a clear, no-nonsense look at how tariffs are reshaping the industry without getting too deep in the weeds.
