I won't sidetrack here, I promise. The Kia really doesn't swim in the same waters as the Camaro so I'm not sure how that suggestion came up. If she was making a suggestion trying to save the family a bunch of money or something, I guess I can see that. Kia's are ok little cars- nothing particularly good or bad about them IMHO. I'd prefer the Camaro myself but I certainly wouldn't bust your balls if you felt you needed to switch.

As far as this goes, for 2 of those countries mentioned they can charge high tariffs because the only thing they export in any significant quantity is guns. The US could care less if the consumer has to pay a little more for their IMI or Taurus. If the US raises tariffs on import cars, then our trading partners respond and then it will be even harder to sell our exports. But it's usually not even quid pro quo on cars- instead if we raise tariffs on cars, then the foreign countries respond by raising tariffs on EVERYTHING from potatoes to cars to technology.
