This article didn't mention that a 25% tariff on importedntrucks, but not cars, was a major factor in getting US automakers to focus on trucks and SUVs, where they could have fatter margins. Paradoxically, the legislation that was meant to protect them may end up killing them instead.


I didn't know that. Down here in Australia that's upside down. SUV/Commercials get a lower tariff rate. It's not much now, but it used to be higher.
