    Yeah I drive an old Nissan leaf, I’d love to own a new Leapmotor A10, but it is under tariffs.

        If they built a good car there wouldn’t be problems. Our car companies are shrinking because of the tariffs… Ford Europe isn’t going to be a going concern soon more an assembler of Geely vehicles.

          When it comes to luxury items let the free market decide, if they are genuinely so bad that they aren’t worth their extremely low price let them fail as a product.

          Tariffs shouldn’t be around to protect consumers from low quality stuff. They should be there for sanctions, or at best (not in favor but at least it makes sense) to protect local jobs, which given how car manufacturers pushed their production overseas, there’s no point.
