ASOTU | More Than Cars

We create media, news, shows, podcasts, training and live events that empower Car Dealers and Industry Partners to elevate their teams, businesses, and communities.

Providing critical news, commentary, best practices, creative services, candid conversations, speaking engagements and inspiring stories, we believe retail automotive is MORE THAN.

More than transactions. More than store-fronts. More than stereotypes.

It is an industry full of more opportunity for all than any other industry in the world; but only if it continues to be a place where culture, creativity, hospitality and technology converge.

We believe retail auto should be an industry people fight to join. And we’re uniting those who believe it too.

Join us.

What happens when three American automotive storytellers travel halfway around the world to a country building one of Central Asia's most ambitious auto industries? Paul, Kyle, and Michael head to Almaty, Kazakhstan, at the invitation of the Kazakhstan Automobile Union (KAO) to explore a rapidly evolving automotive market. From the country's first Toyota dealership to sprawling multi-brand auto malls, surprisingly sophisticated $20,000 Chinese vehicles, and an unforgettable BYD test drive, the team gets a firsthand look at how Kazakhstan is approaching automotive retail, technology, and the customer experience.

Is a single state law about to hand Chinese automakers the ultimate loophole?

Tomorrow morning on the Automotive State of the Union podcast, we're joined by special guest John Bozzella, President and CEO of the Alliance for Automotive Innovation.

We’re diving deep into John's new Automotive News op-ed to unpack the legislative maneuvers happening in Washington State right now. John breaks down how this sets a precedent with massive national implications, potentially creating a blueprint for Chinese EV giants to enter the U.S. market, sell directly to consumers, and completely bypass the traditional franchise dealership model.

We'll get into the specifics of the loophole, what it means for the future of auto retail, and what the industry needs to be watching out for next.

If you are a dealer, an OEM, or anyone invested in the automotive space, the rules of the game are shifting fast, and you cannot afford to ignore this.

Listen to the episode tomorrow at 9:15 AM EST right here on Youtube.
