QOTD: Who Will Be Better for the Automotive Industry?

The first polls are closing as we elect our next president down here in the States.

I am going to do what I did four years ago and ask you which candidate will be better for the automotive industry.


Please kept this specific to automotive -- I don't want rants about issues that don't concern cars. And please be civil and play nice -- the banhammer's wrath is ready to strike down those who insult, belittle, flame, act with bigotry, submit spam, and so on.

I do want to hear what you think, though -- will the potential policies of a Kamala Harris or Donald Trump administration help or hurt the automotive industry?

Or perhaps each candidate might both hurt and help?

You know what to do. Once again, I remind you to be adults down in the comments -- go elsewhere if you want to fling partisan mud or to be a jerk.

Oh, and if you haven't already and the polls are still open where you live, go vote.

With that said, sound off below.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    To Bd2 I've already been there. Maybe you should try it someday.
  • Lorenzo If it's over 30 years old and over 80k miles, and not a classic, it's a parts car, worth no more than 20% of original price.
  • Dusterdude No mileage noted on a 33 year old car means likely well north of 300k + miles , along with issues noted , should equate to an ask price of less than $3k
  • Ajla IMO, something like this really should be naturally-aspirated.
