    I think the new Chinese made Volvo is one of the more interesting cars coming out this year. It’s $35k… AFTER the 27.5% tariff on Chinese made cars. Meaning, Volvo is actually selling this for $27k. The car is super minimal inside, but manufacturing in China is clearly allowing them to reduce costs a shit load.

    US auto manufacturing would be so screwed if these things could be sold without the tariff.

    Edit: also worth noting, they’re going to be leasing these direct in many states. No dealer markup.
