Car Talk: EVs, Tariffs, Supply Chain & Trends

Feb. 24, 2025

Black or blue? Car or truck? Combustion engine or electric? Or maybe hybrid?

Welcome to the ever-changing world of automobiles. What’s hot one year is passé the next, and what’s anticipated to be the next big thing may suddenly take a U-turn. For example, who a decade ago foresaw the degree to which driverless or hands-free cars would be on our roads?

In this week's Northern Express, sister publication of The Ticker, local dealerships weigh in on the latest trends in automobiles, including what's coming down the pipeline next. This week's issue also features several other transportation-related stories, including the next phase of Grandview Parkway construction on deck in Traverse City this year, a look at different regional airports, and Groundwork Center's plans to move forward with pursuing a north-south passenger train in Michigan.

The Northern Express is available to read online, or pick up a free copy on newsstands at more than 650 locations in 13 counties across northern Michigan.
