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 redesigned 2025 Buick Enclave’s luxury trimmings are let down by an uncharacteristically loud cabin and coarse engine.
We took GMC’s Hummer EV SUV right from the street to the drag strip, no additional preparations required, to see just how fast it is from 0-60 mph and in the quarter-mile.
The R1S sees many changes for 2025, but they’re all things you don’t see, leaving the rest of Rivian’s outstanding three-row electric SUV just as good as before.
For enthusiasts looking for a fun combination of refined daily driver and back-road entertainer, the Jetta GLI is a great option, and a good value as well.
It won’t win any drag races, but the redesigned 2025 Equinox drives beautifully, looks good, comes value-packed with safety equipment and feels like a high-quality piece.
