These things are going to come to our shores five or ten years from now but what are you hearing and what's your take on chinese vehicles
14:05
so um you know kyle and i had the opportunity to uh drive a lot of chinese vehicles last year we went to central asia went to kazakhstan so we had a lot of first-hand experience what it feels like to drive one oh that's great how they're merchandised and and we can just say like They're gorgeous vehicles, they're marketed beautifully, and it's just such a complex issue on how they come to the U.S., if they come to the U.S. We have a lot of conflicting priorities.
14:32
So it's like, do we render an opinion? Kyle and I really haven't rendered an opinion on whether we think they should or they shouldn't, but we try to come up from the consumer lens when we're in the middle of an affordability crisis.
14:42
And you have vehicles that are coming in saying, we can promise you not only an affordable vehicle, like sub $20,000 new car, but we can do it in a way that also adds a lot of features on top of it.

It's very hard for the consumer to not be on the side of that.
14:59
Yeah.
