Tony Pimpo is a young automotive journalist who lives in Northern California. He believes the future of the automotive industry will depend in a large part on the recommendation of enthusiasts and Generation Y. More than ever, automakers lately have realized the power of Gen Y. Not only in regard to buying power, but in driving opinion and spreading a brand’s message through the internet and various forms of social media. His appreciation for cars formed at an early age, thanks to his dad, who has always been involved with cars in different ways over the years. Tony has contributed to various websites in his pursuits, and is on staff at GMInsideNews, where he has been writing since the age of 12.

Another day, another electric vehicle program cancellation from Audi. This is despite the company’s recent announcement that it will invest $17.2 billion into new plants and the modernization of existing plants through 2016. You’d think with all that investment that there would be room for electric vehicles somewhere, and definitely... Read More
