Car Radio 910AM-Detroit: Podcast, November 21, 2023

Los Angeles, California – Add cars to your Amazon shopping list. Beginning early next year, Amazon will sell Hyundais – and eventually any auto dealer, regardless of brand, that wants to participate.

You’ll have to pick it up at your local dealership. Automakers’ partnership with Amazon is an admission that the dealer-based car-buying experience ranks right up there with a root canal as an unpleasant experience. 2 min.
