  1. Toyota will just raise their prices, and the American brands will raise their prices too, monopolising the market..

    This is gonna cost the public a fortune!

    But at least we can finance them and write off the interest.. /s

  6. How convenient I wonder if this will overshadow the military leak…

  7. Toyota will just see a reduction is sales.

    Anyone that BUYS a Toyota will feel the impacts.

  9. We need to put the factory on the border so you can run the assembly line in whatever direction the tariffs are today.

  11. I was going to get a new Toyota- that will be put on hold

  12. Maybe Japan should trade with China instead. At least they know that China wants to stab them unlike the USA who stabs from the back!

  14. Still will buy Toyota. I got a Ram before stellantis got a hold of em and tanked their quality and that’s still got a few hiccups. I don’t trust American made bc it’s all for the profits for shareholders not quality of the product. It’s baked into the system to sell trash for the highest price

  15. Just don’t buy them. Let them pay the tariffs, import them, transport to the dealer, all that huge cost for them. And then just leave them there because we don’t buy. Let’s see what happens.

  16. He announces auto tariffs, the stock price crashes, his corporate sponsors buy up the stock at a discount for a few days, he cancels the tariffs, the stock price goes up, his friends cash in. Rinse, repeat.

  17. We essentially sacrifice the masses to save handful of companies in the US which also has some cars made in Mexico.

    99.999% of us could have saved 25% minimum in cost to improve productivity for every citizens and companies.

    But no, this is the sacrifice we must make for what benefit exactly?

  18. Oh stop with the rhetoric, he will delay or scale back the tariffs once his buddies get rich.

  20. I mean, with the way the economy is going, people are going to be buying more used cars vs. new anyway. American cars are not reliable. I’ve watched too many people around me have issues with their American cars. I would buy used before ever buying an American brand car.

  22. Is it just me or does ‘nearly one in two’ sound like a weird way of saying half? AI anyone?
