The past few years have heralded major changes in automotive retail: direct-to-consumer models and new entrants, EVs, supply constraints, GA4, and, of course, a pandemic, are a few of the myriad things to navigate. It's important to take a moment to reflect on the good that has come out of it, including both what good has already happened and what good lies on the horizon.

In this KPI Cafe, Automotive State of the Union's (ASOTU) Paul J. Daly and Kyle Mountsier dive into these changes -- past, present, and future -- to get you excited about how adaptable automotive retail is and how much more incredible it can be if it meets the moment.

In addition to the primary interview, host Dane Saville also dives into "What's Going on in Auto?".
