Matt Weiss, communications lead for KPMG’s Industrial Manufacturing practice, asked these questions of some of the leading automotive journalists at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

Hear directly from the journalists on what they expect in 2020 in the latest episode of KPMG's In The Know podcast.

“You can time a recession based on the launch of the Toyota Supra. They start development when cash is flush during a big economic boom. By the time the car comes out, the market is ready to crash. There will be a recession.”

Jamie Butters, Automotive News

“If there’s a year to not predict a recession it’s a presidential election year.”
