We hear rumors that Trump is planning to allow Chinese cars to be sold in the U.S., as part of a larger deal he's putting together

tying it to Trump's upcoming meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington, which she said is coming "in just a few weeks."

This would be a massive blow to US car companies even with high tariffs. Obviously how high could be a question... Could definitely see some near term pressure on all legacy auto makers and Tesla

You mean the American and Japanese auto makers that are selling absolute shite for over $45,000?


I’ve seen quite the few threads asking if they should get the extended warranty. This was never really a thing until recently.

America got used to buying crap cars with planned obsolescence and expensive central computers that crap out on day 731 of a two year warranty.

Ever wonder why transmissions go out so easily? They’ve been around for over 100 years. And we cannot perfect it….unless we really don’t want to.

You may have been sleeping under a rock but theyre all over Europe, Asia, and Australia. And the people driving them are impressed with them.

Just allow the sale of the Toyota Helix. The thing last forever.

But this will change the whole market.

The Hilux isn't banned, but Toyota does not being it to market believing the Tacoma was a better fit for us customers.

You can import one if it's 25 years or older. Newer ones probably don't meet the safety requirements of modern vehicles

The partly state-owned German automaker Volkswagen announced today their survival as a company now requires the elimination of 100,000 jobs in Germany with the closure of plants in Emden, Zwickau, Hanover and the Audi site in Neckarsulm. Volkswagen will not be the last German company to suffer this fate as Mercedes is now 20% owned by Chinese EV company Geely.

The German auto workers do not have a choice. They no longer have a solid consumer base for their vehicles, and China continues to export low price EVs into the European market. Every euro in tariffs against Beijing is offset by the euros the auto companies spend purchasing Chinese carbon credits to avoid European fines. They cannot get out of the spiral.

Maybe this will put the Auto workers Union on notice that they have nearly destroyed the Great American auto industry

hmm...

China's domestic auto sales were down close to 25% in August (and the y/y fall will likely be bigger in September and October given the higher base last fall). Total demand is heading back to 20m cars ...

BYD probably should be brought over. They are superior to Tesla and the competition is needed.
