Even from a distance, it’s easy to see that broad-based tariffs on vehicles and auto parts would result in seismic unintended consequences. So, as we have done so many times before, NADA is rolling up its sleeves and getting to work.

And we will be clear throughout: NADA is not opposed at all to the president’s goals of addressing unfair trade practices and preserving American jobs. But we must find the right tools for accomplishing those goals. Overbroad tariffs on autos and auto parts are the wrong tools because they will raise prices on new cars and trucks and jeopardize affordability and choice for millions of our customers.  Lutz is 2018 NADA chairman and president of Extreme Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep-Ram in Jackson, Mich.

A recent Nielsen Catalina study shows an average ROI of $7.81 for every $1.00 spent on print ads. Almost half of those surveyed preferred to look at an ad in print, and only 1 in 10 preferred to see that same ad in a digital version. And no one wanted to see it in an app. Print is tangible, it’s engaging, it’s readable, but most of all… it works!
