Edmunds.com Executive and LA Times Reporter Consider Auto Industry and Presidential Campaign

SANTA MONICA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Los Angeles Times reporter Jerry Hirsch and Jeremy Anwyl, Vice Chairman for Edmunds.com, the premier resource for automotive information, exchange thoughts on the bailouts, auto industry jobs, green car development and other related political issues in a ten minute video published today at http://lat.ms/QpBWRT

“The auto industry would look very different today if it hadn’t been for the bailouts”

“The auto industry would look very different today if it hadn’t been for the bailouts,” stated Anwyl as part of his response to one of Hirsch’s insightful questions.

Later in the video, the two have an interesting and fresh discussion about swing states affected by the bailout followed by a brief, compelling analysis of the government’s controversial role in the development of green cars.

Chrysler, Fisker, Ford, General Motors, Nissan and Tesla are among the automakers specifically mentioned in the piece.
