The US market could be segmented into US built and foreign imports, all of whom are being hit with the same 25% tariff.
Surviving requires showing additional perceived value. If President Trump wants America to buy local lots of wealthy extremist Democrats will be tempted to buy European to spite Trump
Our friends at J-to-the-Oh-Hell-R (JLR) are in a difficult place.
Luxo sales are a tad soft, there isn't a 25 plus per cent margin to shave, the USA is still an important destination market and Baldrick is running the Jaguar division.
So that's all going well.
JLR have been caught out before, only for sentiment to swing back towards the 'larger' type of vehicle. Lucky.
Rest assured, unlike many brands, Land Rover if it ever became available for sale, would be snapped up. In spite of iffy reliability, the brand reputation is quite solid, usually because of distinctive design.
Only wish the common sense here could filter through the heads of the dimwits in Westminster. The repeal of every single measure they've put through so far would go a long way to helping the UK out of its current difficulties.
Raising NI and dropping the Winter Fuel Allowance are not hills any government should wish to die on; there are no winners, including this Marxist Labour government.
They should take note that, in the end, Marx himself didn't agree with his own ideological conclusions ...
Fantastic article. A lot of hullabaloo about nothing. They're behaving like children quite frankly. I'm not sure what our tariff is with China. I wish it was 1000% on textiles. Their Shein and Temu shopping app undercuts every high street clothing retailer. It sells absolute tat which lands up in landfill after a few wears.
I do understand your point. I've just come back from a concert here in Worthing. The conductor made a sarky comment about tariffs. Obviously they're oblivious to your point.
But it’s JLR and Tata problem,not the British tax payers

Great summary of where we are.

It's not nothing. It's the end of mindless globalisation.
