This has been previously discussed to death. It is doubtful anything will change. The threat from Trump is real, but simply a bargaining chip. Being the largest consumer in the world, there is legitimate pull from the American consumer.

Paying more money means more “exclusive”? That’s maybe one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever heard. I for one would never buy a car with that tariff.

He’s needs an economics class .....cars will pile up not sure who will pay a 40k tax on a 200k car. Guess the ADM’s will go alway, but for MSRP guys it’s a tax on a tax state plus tariff. Would make sense to buy used tariffs hits the first sale not resale. Foreign car manufactures have too much to risk for that to happen in my view, plus too many jobs in the US BMW, Mercedes.

Doesn't work that way in my business. Thoughts?

he may have gotten to the highest position he will ever attain. I don’t think he will be driving the next 918.

high tariff hurts all porshe buyers. even if ur are richer than bezos why would u WANT to spend more?

No automobile manufacturer would pass along a tariff and they would eat it so don't worry about it.
