Expect the prices to rise enough that my next car will be manufactured in the USA by a Japanese company. Audi's margins are not high enough to simply absorb a 20% tariff.

Hopefully this whole "Trade War" bull**** will be over soon, when people in power have a true business sense that Trade Wars are never good for anyone!

Agree. Tariffs act like a tax, raising prices for consumers and reducing demand and production. In the aggregate, everyone is worse off with tariffs, but some special interest groups may benefit.

Just got your “Audi is leaving its foreign port soon” email. Ten days after the “scheduled to be built” email.
