All that will happen is that other countries - including ours - will erect tariff walls on US goods. How do you think Boeing will continue to sell planes to other countries with a 20% tariff when they can buy Airbus from Europe without them? american cars suddenly 20% more expensive while japanese, korean and Euro cars are now cheaper.

Trump thinks he can act without consequences and will soon learn a harsh lesson.

AS if you needed another reason not to buy a Yank tank.

That is true. most of their cars are not much of a competitor to Europe and other countries.

Ford have had high hopes of selling Mustangs into Australia.

They already sell them here. I need a replacement for my FPV but the mustang is 2-door which i dont want. The HSV is an option for about 6 months. AFter that is is all euro imports. I do like the Jaguar XJR tho:)

Absolutely. One of my excellent experiences with a home-built hi-performance car is that while it is still more expensive to maintain and repair than regular cars, it is nothing like imported ones. A jaguar XJR is an fabulous car, but you need to have deep pockets to maitain service and repair it. But its $325,000 to buy so I guess if you can afford to buy it...

I will miss the FPV and HSV range. In terms of value for money, they outshone pretty much all competitors anywhere. As fast as cars three times their price with handling to match. Not quite up to spec on interiors, but thats about it. and vastly cheaper to maintain and the build quality was just as good.

I wonder if a trade war recommences if local manufacturing of vehicles might come back?

if the Mexican produce end up being 20% dearer then guess what???

that puts American farmers back in Business and = more jobs..

and you are far better off having control of your own food, as, who knows what sort of chemicals at the Mexicans are spraying all of their foods... right?

and they are grubby little bastards too....

you know what I'm talking about...

so its a win win for America

no they arent. Ford have the Mustang and GM are bringing in a mid-sized 4or 6cyl dinky little car. Both very disappointing choices and no V8s other than the mustang. But it is 2 door.

Kia is bringing in a v6 and v8 of all things. Feels wrong...

dear dimwit... the difference between american and mexican product is a lot more than 20%. All it means is that imported goods will now be 20-25% MORE EXPENSIVE while not helping local industry at all. BUT - and its a big one - Mexicos retaliatory 20% tarrif on american goods will make a lot of those imports MORE expensive that from other countries and so americans will lose market share.

In no way is it helpful to americans which of course is why cleverer people than Trump arranged it this way in the first place.
