@Lambert2191 And the UK exports more than 900,000 cars to EU countries annually...
As for Honda, I'm fully aware of their decision. Given the circumstances, it makes sense. After all, they had this all planned out probably a good while ago, and to start from scratch would be costly and time-consuming. I know the other two are unlikely to abandon what they have, too. However, when the current factories reach the end of their lifespan, things will be different. How different, that depends on the outcome of this farce.
Anyway, in case tariffs are imposed, the Brits will have to pay more for their Porsches, BMWs, Mercs and Audis (and VWs, Volvos, Peugeots, Renaults, Citroëns, SEATs, Skodas and even most Fords and Vauxhalls...), and the rest of Europe will have to pay more for the aforementioned Japanese brands. How is it the British who are winning in all this?
