>Yuropoor cars
>More expensive
kek, people will buy them even more. This works for cheap shit like Japanese cars not luxury items Euro cars are sold as
Even Hitler harmed Western Civilization less than this.
>americans will soon be mass importing Ladas
I heard about this a few weeks ago and that prices would go up but so far no prices went up at all at least not in my life. People always worry over nothing.
Then Europeans should be happy about this and encouraging Trump instead of getting upset about it. I think the future will be self-driving ubers anyway.
Why not.
Uber does not make cars. They outift cars madr by existing automobile manufacturers with self driving technology and theyre not even a leader in that regard.
Self driving cars are a fucking meme, how many people have y'all killed with them by now?
Point being thats the future. So may as well get ready for it. Soon nobody owns or buys a car you just call a number then the car drives to come get you. Input destination then the car drives away.
Few, but far far far less than who was killed by human driver cars and theres more profit to be made in it too. VS. human driver cars which you need to pay a driver or pay for upkeep on your own car if you drive one yourself.
Thats completely irrelevant. Theyre constantly improving and even right now are less prone to error than humans. The chinks race ahead in testing their tech while western boomers complain about a death or two slowing down the process.

kek, even orangehead knows not even amerifats want their shit cars
You only stand to lose. Even if you "win" and end up with a slightly more advantageous trade arrangement in the end, it comes at the cost of severe damage to your relations with your closest allies, and that damage is going to take a long time to repair. The immediate impact of the trade war is going to be American jobs being lost along with America's influence abroad.
Next time you want one of your allies to cooperate with you on something, don't be surprised if the answer is "no".
He did the same with Chinese steel
That's incredibly inefficient. The last thing we need is even more cars on the road carrying only a single passenger. I think it's more likely that public transport will be revolutionised as it is being in China's major cities.
Our allies never cared about us ever, Euros hate Americans.
I am not saying we are gonna win or lose, but it seems odd that if we are gonna lose, shouldn't Euros be happy about it?
>Our allies never cared about us ever
Guess that's why we joined you in Iraq and Afghanistan.
>but it seems odd that if we are gonna lose, shouldn't Euros be happy about it?
No. America losing = the whole Western world order being weakened. EU leaders aren't stupid enough to celebrate an American defeat, even if they might secretly want to.
friendship ended when the USSR collapsed. Nato had no meaning after that, America and Europe started drifting apart. Trump may be the last nail in the coffin of Atlanticism
Would be nice.
Isn't there a real danger of China "absorbing" you?
UberX then for $3+tip
>Guess that's why we joined you in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Those are to help Iraqi and Afghans, not Americans. Even then its kinda useless and I was online back then and most Euros still hated America in 2001-2003 too.
Were we ever friends or did Europeans just want to soak up American $$$ and support in exchange for jack all?
LMAO. The biggest BMW factory in the world is in the South. Mercedes also has factories in the Southern states. How do Americans think this is gonna go down?
Do you people not realize uber delivers food now? Why would you order a car to have them take you to a drive through when you can just order the food and have them bring it to your door? Learn to be lazy better
>China "absorbing" you
Lolno. The great horde empire hadn't absorbed us, nor any other culture or civilization.
We are to assimilate them, actively.
I imagine that in short term there's some bullshit (haven't seen anything on my end yet), in long term nothing will change, since America's economy is vastly domestic and any exports we do are less than the imports we do so whatever losses we have in BMW (or whatever) we gain in VCR making for our own populace.
It will also really help global warming, which Euros like to pretend to care about sometimes.

How is the self-driver car going to type in my order??
Le Elon Musk will come up with le way my friend
It sends the order to the restaurant not the driver right now to begin with they would just throw it in the car, even uber knows not to trust their retard tier drivers with getting something as simple as a mcdonalds order right
>Build them here
>Almost all foreign cars ARE built in America
Fucking retard
So if almost all foreign cars are built in America it should be nothing new anyway and you can stop pretending like it matters.
>Were we ever friends or did Europeans
We were always friends dummy. Europeans make fun of you, and bully Americans because they see their potential being squandered on the altars of stupidity, consumerism, and bad decisions, so they hope by pointing out your flaws, you might change your ways.
This won't faze us. German cars are already over-prized due to the fact that German auto manufactures have a global oligopoly within the luxury car segment. The kind of people that buy them will still shell out the 20% tax put on by Trump in the end.
>mfw the euro car stock is going to go down
So its win-win and most German should be very happy about it.
>friends
No such thing in foreign affairs and international relations. You and European leaders didn't want Europe falling to communism so you had to tolerate each other. imo Trump is right on pushing EU states on paying more for their own armies and security.
>We are to assimilate them, actively.
They're 1+ billion strong
Well, a lot of cars in the lower segments that are sold in China get actually produced in the US. So we might close down some plants and move them to Mexico to bypass the tariffs that will be imposed by China on the US which means a whole bunch of American manufacturing jobs lost.
>Those are to help Iraqi and Afghans
Hahahaha
>german cars
why would you buy that crap anyways
>>my government issued tolerance score is too low
>>the car locks up until 2 transexual prostitutes arrive that are going to rape me in order to earn the required score
>>am forced to pay them + tip
>yea i cant wait thanks trump
Trump and your tolerance portion don't go together. Tolerance points and tranny rape sound more like Germany.
Oh I see, so the reason why Euros are complaining about the tariffs are actually because they are so worried about rando "American manufacturing jobs!" How very uncharacteristically altruistic of Euros! (lol bs you expect me to buy that? Euros dont care about "American manufacturing jobs", hell Americans barely care about "American manufacturing jobs")
Also Europeans pretend to care about global warming but are manufacturing Chinese cars in the USA...hmm whats up with that one?
>How is the self-driver car going to type in my order??
You enter the order before the car even leaves. Have you never gotten delivery?
That's not numbers game. Siberia natives were of 1000x more than russian cossacks.
In theory, its probably a wash in the end, but you can't argue Taliban or Saddam Hussein were good guys at all.
But do you think your allies joined out of sincere desire to help the peoples of Iraq and Afghanistan?
>>Build them here
>>Almost all foreign cars ARE built in America
>Fucking retard
If IRC that's the Japanese ones. VW slaps their crap together in Mexico (they have distribution of parts here) and I think BMW (X series are here) and Mercedes (C GLS and GLE are here) are mostly assembled in Europe. Fiat Chrysler just seems to make the Chryslers here. You only ever see old puegots here as far as French cars are concerned.
>I think the future will be self-driving ubers anyway.
We'll replace cars with... someone else's cars.
>Also Europeans pretend to care about global warming
eh

>Germany's electricity sector, more dependent on coal than renewables, accounts for over a third of the nation's carbon emissions. Germany could end subsidies to the industry and, as the Green Party advocates, pledge to exit coal completely by 2030. But so far, Berlin hasn't even stopped the construction of new coal plants (although the oldest ones are being shuttered.)
Well I know Euros hated us even back then so I don't think they joined from some sincere love of Americans either. Both wars were bs anyway desu, Americans were hot off 9/11 and thinking they needed to "end terrorists" and in fact apparently psychopathic dictatorships help stop terrorism? So its choice of 2 evils?
the problem with the global warming crap is you don't go after actual perpetrators like Brazil, China, and India. that's why i'm skeptical of it.
This is literally gonna end up in a worldwide 5000% tariff on everything murican. By then the US$ will be worth less than a fraction of a venezuelan bolivar though.
European honesty, principles and values, since always.
lol they bitched about the Paris agreement thing (where America was responsible for shoveling a ton of money at everyone), can't even do it themselves. Why am I not surprised.
>But do you think your allies joined out of sincere desire to help the peoples of Iraq and Afghanistan?
Afghanistan I think they joined because 1 NATO and 2 we would bear the brunt of it to go after Al Qaeda which basically was against all of the west also 3,000 dead civilians from all over the world.
America's economy is primarily domestic and always has been. USA doesn't need Spain or any other nation, we have nothing but resources on our own.
When Trump articulates american despise to sneaky eurofags, we understand it very well.
Sorry I know it's really obvious I am a poorfag. But do normal people actually buy new cars? I thought everyone buys used cars, and it's only like, rich people that buy new cars.
And rich people wouldn't care if the car is 20% more expensive
>Those are to help Iraqi and Afghans, not Americans
Shieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet, nigger. This is fairly high tech trolling.
> hated America in 2001-2003 too.
Not really. Maybe Bush _after_ the Iraq invasion because it was stupid.
Dacias are the same price as used cars. I don't get why they don't occupy the top in every country.
The Italians are worse. Luckily the Swiss like tattling on them.

>But air-sampling programmes that record actual levels of gases, such as those run by the UK and Switzerland, sometimes reveal errors and omissions.
In 2011, Swiss scientists first published their data on levels of a gas called HFC-23 coming from a location in northern Italy.
Between 2008 and 2010, they had recorded samples of the chemical, produced in the refrigeration and air conditioning industries, which is 14,800 times more warming to the atmosphere than CO2.
Now the scientists, at the Jungfraujoch Swiss air monitoring station, have told the BBC the gas is still going into the atmosphere.
"Our estimate for this location in Italy is about 60-80 tonnes of this substance being emitted every year. Then we can compare this with the Italian emission inventory, and that is quite interesting because the official inventory says below 10 tonnes or in the region of two to three tonnes,"
Murricans usually don't buy used things at all.
>I thought everyone buys used cars
Wealthy retirees are literally buying a new car every few years. This is the reason why you will never see mature age restrictions on driver's licenses in Germany.
>Sorry I know it's really obvious I am a poorfag. But do normal people actually buy new cars? I thought everyone buys used cars, and it's only like, rich people that buy new cars.
My car was purchased new. I had to finance but it was only lile 3% and I'm almost done.
Americans definitely buy used cars all the time. Its big money to buy a new car.
>tariffs on cigs, bourbon, jeans and motorcycles
All of a sudden being cool became so much more expensive.
>cigs
Kill you
>bourbon
Kill you
>jeans
Wear dress pants to impress your boss
>motorcycles
kill you.
Sounds like some smart tarriffing
Cars and some rarities are among obvious exceptions, but I doubt murricans buy more than 20% of cars used.
>Murricans usually don't buy used things at all.
A lot of people by used cars and houses here and some people get all of their clothes from thrift shops. Also we have tag sales and with things like guns and guitars there's a huge trade in used ones.
My parents have never bought a used car
I drive what they pass down to me
American companies should produce them in Portugal and not steal jobs from you.
Even here people started to buy a lot more new cars than before cause of better prices and affordable credits.
Granted, most of these cars are low tier price segment
Maybe I want to kill myself, you don't know. Why should I pay more for the same old poison I get from you guys?
It's because this shit doesn't work and all you end up doing is hurting a lot of people for no benefit.
They joined because if you help your allies they are not supposed to screw with you. It's not about love but mutual benefit.
You are spamming this image it's kind of funny shill
Funny? No, we are serious.

>The report forecasts that last year’s trends will continue into 2018. It estimates that 39.5 used vehicles will be sold in 2018 — up from 39.3 million in 2017. And 16.7 new vehicles will be sold, down from the 17.1 million new units sold last year.
