Cars and Cope: A Brief Chronicle of the Auto Industry In 2024

In 2024, the Roman Report covered all the triumphs, tragedies, and trends of the automotive industry. Now, every Roman Report from the past year has been gathered in one complete, brief, and necessary recap.

The automotive industry was a rollercoaster in 2024, from the highs of electric vehicles becoming more mainstream, to the lows of affordable cars becoming even more rare. In many ways, 2024 has been among the most significant years in recent memory for the automotive industry, as long-running nameplates were retired, companies went out of business, and legendary automakers faced the possibility of never again reaching their former heights. Experience it all again or discover these news stories for the first time with the complete 2024 Roman Report companion!
