The Compass' direction in North America has been in flux after the sudden departure of former Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares in December of 2024. More on that later. While the new Compass cuts a familiar shape with the present model, it is built on an entirely
Tariff Tuesday - Manufacturers are Shuffling the Deck
Tariff Tuesday is the day where we cover how President Trump’s tariffs, if fully enacted, will impact the auto industry, increase costs, and limit consumer choice.
