Regular subjects here include vehicle recalls that affect local owners, dealership openings and sales trends, employment and production at area auto facilities, and the supply chain and suppliers that feed them. Coverage reaches across the city and into the surrounding communities wherever a car story crosses the county line. Plant schedules and the parts suppliers behind them often matter more to local readers than the headline model news does. Tennessee's position as a manufacturing state and the cost of new and used vehicles are the two forces that shape most local automotive stories.
