I didn't say that. You do you too if you think what happened in the first 4 years was any indication of what's going on now. He learned a lot from that experience, including to not trust the in-house establishment, which is why he put together a team of outsiders who are actually going to do something to fix things. This is why there's such an uproar from the entrenched establishment. Where do you think all those trillions of dollars went? It went to the parasites who are screaming now because they're being removed from the feeding trough.

Tariffs on Emira in US?

30% of Teslas are made from overseas parts - therefore Trump's Tariffs will simply cause an inflation increase in the US, making US cars harder to sell overseas.

I'm liking your use of the word 'idiot' here - it's a very accurate utilisation of the word.
Sure, shut it down, don’t look up
Keep pretending you know what you're talking about.
Actually they're not political, they're economic. They affect revenue and jobs which is typically a way to get countries to negotiate and make a deal, which is what's already happening.

If we shut it down, we’ll never be able to implement our foreign policy ideas! This thread is VITAL!
Bookmarked for a future reference.
This!
Who imposes tariffs? And if that is the Governments, how is that not political? You don't need to go into it unless you are bored this Sunday morning, because you seem to have a counterpoint to most things here.
I normally support not allowing politics to bleed over into car hobby topics. It ruins the fun. However in this case the current administrations policies have DIRECTLY impacted the auto industry and as a subset, the Lotus Emira. In this case the conversation is 100% related and germane. As long as people are respectful of different viewpoints I feel strongly the MOST AMERICAN thing we can do is allow free and unfiltered speech. Leave the thread up.

Tarrif wars you say? How about 'I'll drop mine if you drop yours?'
I think that is the point. Many countries have high tariffs and have had unfair trade practices for decades.
The United States has one of the lowest tariff rates in the world, at 1.5 percent, while the global average among all nations is about 2.6 percent. That means the US, one of the world largest economies pay out the most in tariffs.

I’m not quite ready to buy yet, I need to wait a year or two to save up some down payment money.

Interesting email I received from Galpin where I got my car last year:
With the recent announcement of the upcoming 25% tariffs for vehicles and parts built outside of the United States, one thing is certain, our current inventory of nearly 3000 new vehicles is unaffected and tariff-free! The silver lining is that your trade-in is potentially worth significantly more today. Rest assured, Galpin is here offering you the great Galpin deals as we have for over 75 years.
If you have been thinking about a new vehicle, now or in the future, now may be the time. Even if you haven’t been thinking about one, it might make sense for you to act sooner than later. It’s possible that if the tariffs go into effect April 3rd, prices could very well go up from the manufacturers, and in some cases, significantly.
It is also important to point out that since the 25% tariffs applies to parts and components, every vehicle will be affected, even those built in America, as every vehicle has parts and components that are imported.
Our commitment to you is to stay close to the situation and identify anyway we can make things better for you. If you have any further questions, or if I can be of any assistance to you, please feel free to contact me at BeauBoeckmann@galpin.com or (818) 756-2328.
On behalf of my family, thank you for your loyalty to Galpin. It has been our biggest pleasure to serve you and look forward to doing so again soon!

definitely there are risk
We cant say the same for Lotus Talk. They shut the thread down with the quickness. Unfortunate. Free speech doesnt exist over there. Its as if they cull anything related to the Emira.
