The Congress and US government are not very slick when it comes to this. They should pass a tax on luxury autos, most of which are made in Europe.

Like Cadillacs and Lincolns? BMWs built in Alabama? Mercedes built in SC?

Yep. But the most expensive cars are still made overseas. You can fix the starting point as high as you want to make sure it hits the EU instead of domestic producers. Of course, to some degree, it would be possible for them to avoid just by altering the price of their cars.
