U say wetin?? shocked shocked. Those cars u mentioned are highly affordable in America ooo and highly reliable. Infact even more affordable than d vw bmws and benz. People buy foreign cars as their choice and love for them in America not that their local cars (ford, GMC, Chevy etc)are not affordable ooo.

All those ones yapping about USA still dey their mama and papa house. They are far from reality. USA is still the king.
Americans provide solutions when they suffer. During covid, their scientists went into labs for solution unlike Nigeria where the educated ones are in church fasting , praying and calling on god of Daddy G.O for ever-elusive miracles.
We treat education like chieftancy titles just for show off. Nothing more!

Thank you Trump for letting the world know that it's not only Africa or Nigeria that can be wrong in choosing a mediocre for a visionary leader.

Let them buy their own. They think they are self-sufficient, let's see the end of this trade war.
America has always been self sufficient, and they will continue to be.

Trump is a very intelligent man, the world eats from America including China.

You will only understand what Trump is doing if you studied economics.

Why do you think he is successful in business?

Strengthening American Industries is what will make America Great Again.

Our own na to kill local Refinery so that somebody will blend petroleum products from Malta.

Kill IVM so that one local Toyota dealership can make gains.

Kill Agriculture using Herdsmen for rural so that International Aids go increase for the refugees.

Destroy hospitals so that common man will not survive common preventable diseases.

Imagine the wealth of the people handling procurement and logistics for International Aids organization, refugee camps, Terrorist rehabilitation programs, importation of petroleum products.

It seems we built the Ports in Nigeria to sabotage all our existing local production.

Just imagine Bangledash made almost 9 billion dollars from textile alone.
We can't even compete with Bangledash for textile.

Nigeria is Giant of what exactly huh
I feel you are the only one that understands what Trump is doing.

It's easier said than done. Big manufacturers cannot just up and move manufacturing from one country to another.
These would long term organisational planning.

The U.S minimum wage is not cheap, if these companies move the cost of manufacturing would still be up. This would still up the final cost of goods.So at the end they would rather pay the tarrif ......who would bear the final brunt......the US consumer
OK then if they can't do that, they should sell it elsewhere then.

Importation of cars ruined Detroit, Michigan
Imagine what car importation has done to Nigeria
China has stopped selling rare earth metals to US, and specifically to Tesla.

This is WAR.

Morafvckers will now be forced to buy those wack American cars.

Big boxes that will never make it to 200k miles.
This will impact Volkswagen negatively more than the US.

American cars like Chevy and ford are doing very well right now.

American cars that are usually big for nothing.

Big and ugly. They make cars like they think everyone is obese like them
It’s is not only big and ugly alone, they lose value so fast.

On Facebook marketplace where people resell cars as second hand, American cars value fall so bad and you won’t even be able to sell them fast.

Let’s see what Trump will achieve with this.
Re: Volkswagen Group Stops All US Car Imports After Trump Tariffs by MasterTeeUSA: 11:45pm On Apr 08, 2025
Check out 2025 Buick Enclave...American cars are not what they used to be...some of them can go 300k miles now Lol. Americans just drive recklessly lol..if you find cars owned by older people, they last for a long time....Americans lack maintenance culture too like Naijas

Re: Volkswagen Group Stops All US Car Imports After Trump Tariffs by Laird(m):
American consumers are the

1) Top country buyers of Ferrari and Lamborghini worldwide

2) Second in buying of Bmw cars after China

3) A major.market for Bugatti

4) Second in buying of Audi cars after China

5) Second in buying of Mercedes Benz cars
after China

6) .Third in buying of Volkswagen cars
after China and Germany ( volkswagens home country)

7) Third in buying of LandRover/Range rover Brand of cars after China and U.K ( Land Rover/Range Rover home country)

cool Second in buying of Porsche cars
after China

9) Second in buying of New cars
after China


So the USA is a major car market with its citizens having less economic challenges in purchasing cars and easy access to affordable car purchase loans

So the tariffs iny opinion have the intention of making imported car prices higher in price therefore

1) Making American customers to maybe reduce buying imported cars amd purchase american domestically produced cars


2) Make the foreign car companies think of producing the. Cars in the USA


3) Show strength amd force the foreign car brands and their countries to negotiate


Seting up a nrw car factory might take 7 to 15 years to recoup in my opinion so most might be hesitant

The tariff war is all about countries protecting their local companies unlike Nigeria where the government kills indigenous companies while giving concessions to foreign companies.

I would rather pay extra $10,000 for a Toyota than a dodge whose engine will blow at 100k miles just after the expiration of the exensive extended warranty. grin

Genesis is Korean though.

But those ones are not escaping the tarrif one way or the other too. All those cars have parts from different part of the world and not all models are made in a specific country. Lots of models are still made in Japan. Those parts and those specific models will be dinged with tarrifs.

Have you thought of the inflation in prices of those indigenous cars due to high demand? Trump is a one way thinker. He doesn't consider the backlash if his policies.
Re: Volkswagen Group Stops All US Car Imports After Trump Tariffs by onatisi(m): 2:56am On Apr 09, 2025
Though many people believe all these tarrifs are bad but it will eventually help America , one thing we have to accept is that those complaining about these tarrifs majorly are foreign nations and companies that will be affected . America is for Americans , they need to start looking out for themselves and stop been the father Xmas of the world

Supply has never been a problem. The automobile companies can supply. But there is no demand, people prefer toyota camry while ford and chevy are busy producing cars.

You seem not to understand the way the market works. Demand for raw materials from the automobile companies will soar. There's a reciprocating move by Europe to increase tarrif on goods from America just like America has done on incoming goods from the world, or you think America can produce am they need? These are the factors that will affect prices.
