Detroit Bureau Chief

Aaron Bragman

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 Automotive Press and the Midwest Automotive Media associations. My personal fun car is a pristine 2002 Ford Thunderbird, which I love because it is not an SUV, has zero touchscreens, and nothing dings at you all the time. My pronouns are he/him, but my adjectives are fat/sassy.

The quiet, smooth and powerful electric operation makes the 2026 Land Rover Range Rover Sport plug-in hybrid the best Range Rover Sport to get.

One of the least expensive new cars you can buy is the 2026 Hyundai Venue — but inexpensive doesn’t mean cheap.
