Why do I feel this designed and timed specifically to encourage Italy in its potential revolt against the EU/Brussels and their masters in Germany?

"German automakers assembled 804,000 cars in U.S. plants last year but exported another 657,000 to North America from Germany"

Don't some still come from Mexico?

I have to say, the quality of BMW’s has really declined as the prices have skyrocketed. They force you to spend an extra $500 on 4 tires because they can’t engineer a spare tire compartment. I’ve had electronic tire pressure monitors fail and cause the total car electronics to fail - terrible. Not sure if the 3 series will remain a perennial Car and Driver Top 10 if they don’t focus on quality again.
It may be nice handling, but they need to last past 60,000 without major failures.

He doesn’t. He just wants an even playing field for US manufacturing.

BMW, Mercedes, and Volkswagen all have manufacturing plants in the U.S. Many, and in some cases all, of the cars of a specific model sold in the U.S. are made here. How would Trump ban them from the U.S. market? Force the factories to close?

I doubt the accuracy of this story.

"Citing several unnamed European and U.S. diplomats, the magazine said on Thursday that he told Macron in April he would stick to his trade policy for long enough until no Mercedes-Benz models were rolling down New York’s Fifth Avenue."

Ah, both BMW and Mercedes-Benz have major assembly line operations in the USA. And they are building “crossover” SUV’s, which has highly profitable to both companies.

crap. I own an MB S series, after ditching my C class. But if it’s for Trump, I may consider it.

So pushing for fair trade means pushing German car makers out of the USA huh.

Someone needs to get a better translator.

Folks in the price range of German luxury cars can afford to pay more. If they choose to do so, or not, it’s no skin off MY nose!

Thanks Bob...
