OK.... ummm... concerning the click bait. I took the Trump off the article title. Trump represents the republican party and you getting so overly technical about click bait I'd say you're a Trump supporter. Lol. As you read my posts, I never mentioned trump as the whole premise of my opinion. But rather the other half of your rebuttal. Which is the valid part. That YOU AGREE that if the sentra and Versa can't sell here. It will be hard to support a low volume car. Technically we did get a concept last year called the Grip Z... Then, unofficially a car sketch was born. Rumors of the Z being on a brand new platform that the Juke will be on has come out. It has been rumored the Z will come out after the Juke. And there's been more news than people feel but, we've gotten nothing tangible and the delay is UNREAL. Everyone is coming out with new models and major refreshes two times over while we look at the same car with a fascia change, a non functioning oil cooler and a Nismo body kit that looks great but I think we would have done better refining the engine, upping the power a Lil and enhancing the suspension to have less lean. Not roll. But lean.

Things would have been so much easier if we all had just voted for Vermin Supreme. If you don't know who he is, just search his name on youtube.

The way I see it is we have been sending a lot of our industry to other countries, which helps them. We also important their goods with no tariffs, which also helps them. These same countries do little to nothing for us. They impose huge trade tariffs on our goods in their country, which largely keeps our goods from being sold in those countries.
Now if we can come to a deal that is mutually beneficial, then maybe imports won't be marked up for sale here in the US. One hand washes the other kinda thing. Just my $0.02

I have long thought we should mirror tariff policy of any country we deal with. The fact that we have a trade-in deficit is ridiculous. The flip side is to make it more profitable for our manufacturers to make the products we import so cheap. Stuff will cost more, but that money is staying in our country.

It's possible.
We are a very niche market, thought. How much is a, say, 80's Z worth today? Do you want to wait 40 years for the value to go back up? Right now, the value of our cars is dropping on the dealer's lot. If you wanted an investment, mothball one with 100 miles on it until 2050. Just, sayin'. Kirk,. Out! (Works better for me, lol.)

Well here in Canada we just imposed a carbon tax forcing up gas prices (all energy in general). With the z not being the most gas efficient this will further deter the purchaser vs those eco boost thingies....
If Murica stops getting the z I'm pretty sure Canada won't either. We get what America gets and never the other way around. Minus we get less options |
