Interesting enough I was in Shanghai a year ago, the big seller there Buick... Which I believe was built a factory there. In two weeks In china the only Camaro I saw was on a billboard in the subway. The Chinese promote there foreign trade with special economic zones (Shanghai, Hong Kong, Shenzen) with government support. People need to remember there is more here than just tariffs. I'm hoping that the tariffs bring other nations to the bargaining table and level the playing field.... Chinese have subsidized there solar industry to run all others out of Business. Lets not forget the massive subsidies that the European Union has given to Airbus which is Boeing's main competitor. The list goes on. The American car industry has much to learn, Off shoring production of cars that are inferior will not win the war. Give us a nice warm interior with out all the shiny hard plastic. Dump most of the turbo's, build nice refined high tech power plants, the Camaro V6 or even the refined V8's I don't want to have to hit the gas a second or two early in hopes the turbo will spool up so I can get thru that hole in traffic. For most of the US how much time is spent idling and stopped. Use the start stop money to put a little real carbon fiber or wood if that's your thing into the interior. Step out once in awhile think Kia Soul, Mazda Miata, Remember the Xterra and the Aztec. Hire a stylist (Not Chris Bangle)see how that works out for you... Tesla is beating BMW even with out the unicorn ($35K model 3) Build a better American car don't just shrug your shoulders and build trucks. GM (and Ford) you can fix your problems take off the blinders...
