Kelley Blue Book says Trump’s tariffs could raise the U.S. price of the average new car – already approaching $49,000 – by $3,000 or more. The price of some full-size pickup trucks could shoot up by $10,000.
Not even joking the amount of morons who drive Toyota in Texas and obsess over the fact they are made here in Texas as if that makes them an American car? Still a Japanese company my dudes
Was just making a point to OP about “American” vs “Japanese” companies, who seems to care more about the headquarters’ locations rather than the workers’.
All American brands build cars outside of the US. It’s typically the cheaper models that are made elsewhere.
Ford built the Edge in Canada, dodge built the charger and challenger in Canada, Chevy built some Silverado’s there. Chevy and dodge both built some of their trucks in Mexico too. Shit some Chevy models are made in china and shipped back to the US.
There’s an easy way to tell what country a car is made in. If the vin starts with 1 4 5 and sometimes 7 it’s made on the US. If it’s 2 it’s made in Canada. If it’s 3 it’s Mexico. Y is china I believe.
Well, Tesla aside, all manufacturers manufacture some percent of their USDM cars outside of the US. For GM it’s over half. Even Honda, Toyota and Subaru USDM cars are more likely to be US-made than GM. Stellantis and Ford however are in 2nd and third place in Tesla so not TOO bad. Source
In b4 the supporters start yelling, “Won’t be a problem for me! I only drive American cars!”
Narrator: “It did become a problem for them.”
"I only drive Toyota! “BUILT HERE LIVES HERE”!

Buying a USA domestic brand that was assembled abroad and imported pays USA stock owners, not USA factory workers and local economies.
Who does that?
I guess assembled in Mexico in a couple cases?

OK, but what car companies do the thing you said that your point was about?

Toyota and Nissan seem to be more American these days than ford/chevy/dodge. It’s quite hilarious
