It frankly looks like nothing else on the show floor. From the upright grille to the totally unique roofline, it has a commanding presence and exudes a sense of gravitas missing from nearly every other car made by any manufacturer. The detailing is extraordinary — the A-pillars, roof and B-pillars are all one surface, an unbroken plane from the base of the windshield up, over and down to the trunk. And it is a trunk, not a hatchback, despite the Wraith’s unusual shape. The trunk is completely lined with carpet nicer than what is in most rental apartments.

Detroit Bureau Chief

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I handle new car reviews, news, events, auto shows, and contribute to special projects and multicar comparisons while representing our team in the heart of the U.S. auto industry. I’ve been a part of the industry my whole life, growing up in an automotive family, spending the past 30 years working for Bosch and Nissan, and serving as an industry analyst for years before coming to Cars.com in 2012. I’m a graduate of the University of Michigan (Go Blue!), have an MBA from Wayne State University in Detroit with a focus on international business strategy, and I’m a member of both the <a href="https://www.automotivepressassociation.net/">Automotive Press</a> and the <a href="https://mamaonline.org/Home">Midwest Automotive Media</a> associations. My personal fun car is a pristine 2002 Ford Thunderbird, which I love because it is </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">not </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">an SUV, has zero touchscreens, and nothing dings at you all the time. My pronouns are he/him, but my adjectives are fat/sassy.</span></p>
