You already know (but the tariff junkies don't) that BMW, Honda, Toyota are better cars because (a) the management cares more about a quality product and (b) they're built by non-union labor which is more motivated to produce a quality product.

Put a 35% tariff on foreign cars and watch GM/Ford/Chrysler kick back, pop a brew and go back to making good cars on Wednesdays and Thursdays only. Remember the Vega? The Pinto?

We have the example of pickup trucks. Imported, they still have a 25% tariff. Is the lack of smaller and cheaper pickups a price worth paying for the claimed benefits to Americans?
