Toyota Motor said will build a new plant in Baja, Mexico, to build Corolla cars for U.S. NO WAY! Build plant in U.S. or pay big border tax.
...if true? I approve of this ploy by Trump...full of schit or not.
You approve of his mafia style leadership?

Yes, I love it when they pick and choose to make certain products more expensive.

By the time we are done ripping up regs, new cars will be cheap again. That I can tell you.

Or be allowed to use old technology and build bare bones cars that aren't run by computers and ruined by pcv systems. Wouldn't cost $3000 to build an 80s model vehicle to the same specs.

So you want them to downgrade cars like Trump wants to downgrade AF1 to make it cheap. How many people do you think would buy your cheap car? How many people are buying flip phones because they are cheaper?.
I've worked in the auto industry. I've seen some of the crap they would ship out if they were not regulated. I've seen some crap they have sent out even though they are regulated. Careful what you wish for.

You sure seemed to love it when the decided to make health insurance more expensive. Or when they decided to make certain energy technology companies **cough** Solyndra **cough** the recipient of funds from the tax payer.

The downgrade option should be available, yes. $40,000 new cars will still be available as well. However, I'd rather spend $5,000 for a 1990 Honda Civic replica with 0 miles than spend $5,000 for a 2010 Civic with 120,000 miles that cost $1,000 to repair every time a computerized sensor or solenoid malfunctions. Deregulation would be yuge for both business and the consumer.

RE: The real reason Ford isn't moving to Mexico.
Right now there is no way I buy a new car in the foreseeable future. I need ones that can seat 7 so the base models are out and after that you see suv's and trucks that are in the 35-60K range... What the bloody hell.
I make a decent living but I would have to finance that over 5 years. If people are stupid enough to finance something for 5 years, when that thing depreciates in value, hats off to them. But for me... I'll be sticking with ( current year - 2 ) when buying a car.

Yeah, the hypocrisy from the left on these issues is deafening.
Trump doing precisely what Obama and Hillary said they would do (but never actually did because they lied) is 'mafia style'.

Last year I bought two brand new cars. You cannot believe how much I regret it. This year, I bought a 23 year old Land Cruiser for 3k and I love driving it almost as much as my new car.
I don't see myself ever buying a new car again.

Just for the record guys, this year is the seventh straight year that we have had record car sales in America.

I don't know anything about that. From what I have heard, it had to do with a specific model of car.
Overall however, we have had record new car sales for seven straight years.
Not bad for a country that is supposedly crumbling in economic despair.
