Show Notes
China is cornering the market for rare-earth metals used in hybrid batteries and electric motors. Toyota’s in trouble, again, this time recalling vehicles for brake-fluid leaks and fuel-pump problems. The auto-parts business is booming with the stock prices of several companies at 52-week highs. All that and more, plus a look at how Ford is working to make its vehicles as quiet as possible.
