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.

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.

If you had to give the 2023 super bowl commercials a grade what would it be?
Check out our ASOTU Reacts to see what we thought of the Ram EV ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIhfh...
There were some big names, bold faces, and new looks in automotive for the Super Bowl.
What stood out? What worked? What flopped? And most importantly, how would you grade the automotive industry's entries into the Super Bowl ad space?

Is dynamic restaurant pricing a good model?
Would you pay more to eat during the lunch rush?
Restaurants are considering taking a page out of the Dealer and Airline playbook by trying their hand at ‘dynamic pricing’ due to the mass adoption of online ordering and digital menu systems.
This could include lowering prices during slow times to maximize staff, etc, and raising prices during peak demand times to maximize profits.
Some like Tim Voss, CTO of Focus Brands, parent of Moe’s Southwest Grill, Schlotzsky’s and other foodservice brands have reservations. They don't want to be in a situation where people are paying different prices for the same thing simultaneously.
What are your thoughts? Is this something you'd endorse or avoid?
(Automotive puns encouraged)

Is Elon Musk a "car guy"?
He's launched a Tesla into space, sold flamethrowers, tequila, shorts, and now a cologne, and challenged Vladimir Putin to single combat... and that's just the start of a long list of stunts that he's pulled off.
His latest gag was carrying a sink into Twitter HQ ahead of his completed purchase of the company. As he walked past the front desk, he remarked, "Let that sink in," with a big grin on his face.
So we put it to you, the amazing automotive community on LinkedIn. You know "car guys," you've seen them, maybe some of you ARE them!
Is Elon a car guy? Let us know your reasoning in the comments below!

In October of 2008, the world was deep in the midst of a global financial crisis.
But it turned around.
Keep your eyes on the horizon and your hands in the dirt.
