The wait begins...

Long run it'll force manufactures to bring jobs back stateside which will create jobs.

Hopefully it will. We shall see.
Just in time for the robots and artificial intelligence to take over. lol (I saw a signature line for an AI company on a couple of the forms at work from an outside vendor.)

But seriously, I hope it all works out for the American People.

If this really comes to pass, it will crush the domestics OEM's for a long time.

Gonna hurt mavericks and bronco sports a lot I think.

We were going to get a Maverick late spring/summer. I might just put tires and crap on my 18 150 and keep it now.

There's plenty of Mavericks already stateside that wont be affected.

What if I ordered one?

I trust in President Trump and believe in him. That said my wife might have to change her desires for European SUV’s because I will never pay any extra 25% tariffs so we may go American made in the future.
We just got a new vehicle in 24 and she keeps her cars a while so it’ll be a wait and see.
Maybe a Cadillac or Lincoln??
Or stick to European? With no additional tariffs of course.

All for tariffs to bring back jobs, but think it could of been a gradual one with 5/10/20 over the next 3 years for example to give companies time to restart here and not shock an economy that was on hollow ground. But, that's another thread.

Been arguing with the Boss on another company vehicle. If the Bronco sport gets hit with a 25% "tax" fts.

I've been hearing/reading it takes about three years to build an automotive factory.

I saw a black Cadillac CT5 at the gym yesterday. Thing was sweet.

It would be subjected to a tariff.

Pretty sure my mom had the Mercury counterpart, a Comet. It was a straight 6.

She always loved the Escalade but at 5 foot nothing (3) she would need a ladder to get in.

All BMW SUVs and Mercedes GLE and GLS are made in Alabama. So they shouldn't be hit with the tariff.

Where are their engines and transmissions assembled?

That's a good point. I know my Sprinter vans are "assembled" in SC.
There must be manufacturing/assembly parameters by which they deem something "Made in America"

 

[specracer]

BMW SUV's are Spartanburg SC (vs Alabama). Picked up one of our X5's there, drove it back to MA, was a cool experience.

Those Escalades are nice but obnoxiously large, much like the Suburbans are.

It’s definitely not necessary for our intended use. We have no kids and don’t need all that space but they look good.
