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.
