Let me preface this story by saying that it's a really, really lousy time to be in the market for a new car. The automotive industry here in America and abroad is in a state of chaos over President Donald Trump's blanket 25% tariffs on all foreign-made cars, and nobody can be certain what will happen next. Those tariffs could be permanent, as Trump has said, or they could give way to new trade deals with various countries, as Trump has also said.
