What’s ironic is that more foreign owned brands have production plants in the US than US brands at this point. Nissan Toyota and Honda all have US plants. GM Ford and Chrysler all have plants primarily in Canada and Mexico.
All of those companies have plants both in the US & Canada (and I'm sure Mexico too, I'm just less familiar). As someone who lives in Southwestern Ontario, we have a lot of car brands, both foreign and domestic, plus the supply chains for the parts that go into those cars.
Saying the big 3 are "primarily in Canada and Mexico" is just untrue, especially comparing it to Japanese brands. They're all heavily relying on CUSMA.
So with just a little bit of research: You’re right. However, 3 of Fords most popular models are in fact produced in Canada. This begs the question though: do these tariffs apply to production or simply “company country of origin?”
I think the saddest part is that if BYD could be imported into America, it'd probably still be cheaper with the 20% tariff.
And people voted for this Orange Mussolini, so I truly hope everyone who voted is feeling the terror around these tariffs, and I hope you make better decisions in the future because nobody voted for fascism, but your vote for GOP did just that!! And now WE ALL have to suffer! Fucking troglodytes!!!
And then you have idiots like this:
I guaran-fucking-tee this dumb bitch has absolutely zero clue what she's actually driving (hint: it's a Lexus LX470, aka TOYOTA LAND CRUISER).
And the "Don't Tread On Me" is just so on-the-nose.
That's one of the ones that's actually assembled in Japan, too.
Yep. The entire Land Cruiser family (which includes the LX, GX, Prado, and even the 4Runner) is only built in Japan. It's one of the most Japanese vehicle families of all Japanese vehicles.
Love my 100 series LCs... seriously hate seeing that magat flag on one.
Oh this is gonna suck balls! What about replacement parts?
All of this is a great idea for making cars expensive as fuck again!...MCEAFA
Do American car makers even make sedans and compact crossover anymore?
I know Toyota is Japanese, but they have a Kentucky, USA factory where they manufacture Camry and Lexus ES 350 and 300h.
sedans no, and it's a goddamned shame because fuel efficient sedans still have a place. manuf won't make them because trucks (and not even single cab small trucks) and suvs make more money.
