India has said sod off and Japan has said wait and see, we will not do a deal with you until we know what you agree with the EU.
Both Kia and Hyundai cars manufactured in the EU will now be subject to 10% Tax.
Do you not get this yet ??????? There are tarrifs on cars from outside the EU now - on Fords etc. They are the most popular make of car in the UK. We also make Nissans, Toyota, Mini etc here in the UK. The tariffs would make German cars more expensive, we would buy less German cars and shaft Merkels economy. Brilliant business idea, Swimmy.
Currently the tarrif on EU cars into the USA is about 2.5% but the USA coming into the EU is about 10%. If the UK put a 10% tariff on cars, EU cars would be 7.5% more and USA cars would be the same price.
Fords are fuel efficient - go take a look. Your comparing them to the lies VW told about their emissions in the USA.
Japan is waiting to strike a better deal with the UK than it has with the EU by the way.

Yes I do get it.
Fords manufactured in the USA are not, those manufactured in the EU are.
I have a ford, 11 reg, it is nor very fuel efficient as it is ex works and as fast as hell.
A Turbo Diesel and chipped.
230 and 495
It is however vastly more fuel efficient than USA Fords.
We are not going to be buying very expensive to run USA .

You can't say that though, Swimmy. People have a choice, if they want in innefficient car they can get one and pay more to run it, if they don't they can buy a fuel efficient one.
People like choice.
I bet your emissions are higher than that of the space shuttle in that chipped diesel van. Don't tell Greta Thunberg, whatever you do ....

The answer is plain to see - we lead the world in battery technology and British innovation is world leading - it always has been. The other point I would like to make is that JLR (and other major companies) are showing huge amounts of confidence in Brexit Britain.*

You can't understand anything Solasch its nothing new. I was talking about battery technology not tarrifs.

So at last we can agree that you stated the UK is at the front of electrotechnology in cars. Which makes a massive difference on pollution.
But then there are you in post # 13 stating the brits want to chose for dirty diesel technology. That is a schizophrenic position you take. And that was my point.
