Even with a tarriff, a $20k car would still be cheap. There are also no tariffs on goods from the EU (yet) or you could just (god forbid) build them here in the US.

I dunno why they wouldn’t sell them in Canada or Mexico either.

Even cars built in the US from US car companies have to have parts imported from Canada and Mexico (sometimes shipping back and forth multiple times). These tariffs will raise the price of every car.

Nope, because every damn VW dealership will mark it up to stupid levels. If they can’t make money suckering you in for maintenance, they are going to take it off the top. Hell, right now there suing because VAG is trying a different approach for Scout sales.
