On Thursday, the Federal Trade Commission will host the third in a series of roundtables around the country to gather information on consumers' experiences in the leasing of motor vehicles at dealerships. The roundtable also will address what has been learned about auto sales, financing and leasing at all of the roundtables; what consumer and business education initiatives would be useful; and any practices that may harm consumers significantly or that are widespread.
