Fewer new cars, and lengthier ownership might become the name of the game.

The article from MotorBiscuit discusses the potential impact of a proposed 25% tariff on imported vehicles, as suggested by former President Donald Trump, on the American car market. The tariff, aimed at protecting domestic manufacturers, could lead to a significant increase in car prices, potentially making new vehicles unaffordable for many Americans. The article draws a parallel to the "Cubanization" of car ownership, where due to economic sanctions and import restrictions, Cubans have been forced to maintain and use vintage cars from the 1950s for decades. If the tariff were implemented, it might result in Americans holding onto their current vehicles longer, leading to an aging fleet and reduced new car sales, which could negatively affect the automotive industry and related jobs.
