Toyota, Kia, Nissan and Hyundai build their vehicles in American plants for the American market.
There will be no tariff on those vehicles unlike the trolling trolls above falsely claim.


, American-built Japanese cars do not pay a tariff because they are not imported from Japan. Japanese automakers have plants in North America that produce vehicles sold in the U.S., and these vehicles are not subject to tariffs

Lib loons don’t even know how tariffs work yet TDS mandates they hate them

On anything Trump says..

The wages the plants offer should be mandated to be much higher than overseas workers for the same product. That's the key to success.

Will Honda get a huge payoff like Carrier... in Indiana, while taxpayers get screwed?

Taxpayers get screwed when good jobs leave. Blue States have been on the losing end of good paying jobs from manufacturers for generations because of greedy Democrats trying to squeeze companies. As a taxpayer, I’d rather see company get an incentive to build in my community and create jobs which has a more profound effect on the local economy vs corporate tax revenue.

And when it does you'll lie about it.

You're nothing if not predictable.

Agreed but good paying jobs mean the employers pays a bunch more than overseas. $25 per hour isn't a good wage. It's poverty pay.

You'll lie about just like you are doing now.

Where does it state all jobs are $25/ hr?

Cars are ASSEMBLED in the US but the parts that they use to build them are manufactured overseas

If Honda wasn't able to be competitive in America they chose Mexico instead. Something must have changed? Government subsidies in America or a promise of at least 5 bucks an hour to American workers?

American workers are worth 3x other workers for the same exact work.

BMW got a huge tax break to move to Spartanburg SC in the 90's. Best move we did, the upstate is booming partly from all the jobs they created.

Honda parts are difficult to differentiate because Honda makes a lot more little engines than car engines. But for comparison....

Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Kentucky, Inc. (TMMK) is home to “Toyota’s largest vehicle manufacturing plant in the world, annually capable of producing 550,000 vehicles and more than 600,000 engines.”


The sprawling facility in Georgetown, Kentucky opened in 1988 and has produced more than 11 million vehicles. TMMK manufactures four-cylinder and V6 engines at the plant. The best-selling Toyota Camry and Toyota Avalon, along with their hybrid counterparts, are also manufactured here. The Lexus ES350 is also a product of this plant.

I'm not a car hog, but my lexus es 330 has more than given me my money's worth, and I bought it used

I'd be proud to own a Ranger pick up, but they're pricing themselves out of how much I will pay for piece of metal to get me from point a to point b.

Fair enough, it's early. But never underestimate the power of tariffs.

They will be rolled back or over turned within a short time.

maybe not on canada because, aside from lumber, I'm not sure what they are really good for. They won't even fund their own defense.

Win win, American jobs
