Navigating Change in Automotive Retail: Brian Gordon Joins The Truth About Cars Podcast

April 11, 2025

Shifting consumer preferences and evolving tariff discussions are reshaping the automotive retail landscape. To explore how these forces influence the industry, Brian Gordon, President of the Dave Cantin Group, recently joined The Truth About Cars Podcast, hosted by Tim Healey.

“There’s no one-size-fits-all approach yet when it comes to how manufacturers may pass on costs,” Brian noted during the discussion. “From our conversations with dealers, we know those discussions are happening right now—manufacturers are signaling their intent, but outcomes are still uncertain.”

He adds, “In a rapidly shifting landscape, clarity and perspective are everything. Our priority is helping clients zero in on what will matter most.”

The episode also revisits a key topic from our January Market Outlook Report: Have we reached peak truck? Listeners can also catch commentary on NASCAR’s latest controversies and even a spirited take on oil-filter wrenches.
