'A good time to get a new car': Tariff fears driving auto sales boost in Detroit | CBC News
""I actually have been looking for about a month, so I think the car itself is great and I'm due for a new car, and with all the tariffs going on, I figure it's probably a good time to get a new car before the prices go up.""
