I’m not a driver. Because of that, most of my life has been spent in cities with public transit or that can be easily walked – like New York and London. I’ve often dreamt of being able to rent a car and head north along the Hudson River, or through the Channel Tunnel to France. But that would mean having to figure out which car to use. And now, I’m grateful I don’t have to wade through that swamp of politics, economics, nationalism, and climate policy.
The latest round of tariffs in the ongoing trade war has targeted Europe’s luxury cars. This move by the US government could leave Americans with, of all things, pickup trucks and China in a position of power.
If, like me, you’re a car aficionado, you might be more interested in the vehicle itself. The fact that luxury car manufacturers like Porsche might have to choose between the US market or the China market may be a factor in your decision.
