1 in 5 Drivers Has a $1,000 Car Payment. Congress Wants Answers. (The Roman Report)

Опубликовано 30 ноября 2025, 15:00

Approximately 1 in 5 drivers has a $1,000 monthly car payment, and Congress wants answers. The CEOs of the American Big 3 automakers (General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis) have been called to testify before Congress to answer for the unbelievable increase in car prices in both the new car and used car markets. People can't afford to drive, and for once, the automakers are being asked to explain themselves. But is it really their fault?

In this month's Roman Report, I'll give you the latest on the price increases plaguing the automotive industry and affecting the car market. Whether you're buying new or buying used, it's clear that we're in a crisis, and transparency may be the only way the public can ever have a domestic car market that isn't stacked against them from the start.
