I just returned from Japan. No U.S. produced cars. You say that is a Japanese preference. OK, agree, but no cars. I didn’t even see a Corvette, Mustang, or Camaro over a three week period. So, Japan has some pretty heavy tariffs on some U.S. products, sickening…right.. .
To be fair, Japan hasn't had a tariff on US vehicles since the late 70s.
Interesting.. so it is a resistance to buying foreign made cars. South Korea is much the same with few foreign made cars, but a higher percentage than I saw in Japan. Also, some Chevrolet models are made in South Korea. That being the case, other issues must dominate these decisions, such as the tariffs on rice over 770,000 metric tons, also Trump previously raised import quotas on Japanese cars to 25% and steel at 50%. Regardless, I doubt that we have seen the final numbers since negotiations are still ongoing
