RPM News Podcast 6-05-20
This week’s discussion kicks off on indications that online-only auctions have so satisfied dealers’ appetite for pre-owned vehicles during the pandemic that it’s to the point where auctions will never return to going live. But, RPM podcasters Rich Taber and Peter Ciani aren’t convinced that the trend is permanent. Listen in to find out why.
Also on the agenda this week is news that the Chrysler Pacifica is getting a 2020 all-wheel drive Launch Edition in advance of the release of the new 2021 models which will offer AWD in several trims.
The podcast then turns to Peter’s test car of the week – the Yaris hatchback. Considering its Mazda2 underpinnings, its a break from the string of straight-out Toyota manufactured products that he has test driven over the past month. Very affordable, too.
