I don't think thats the point being made. Just that this will probably make German cars more expensive, but Britain doesn't make any good cars of their own and so they don't have a ton of other options.
- BurningFrog 10y agoThey have MEGATONS of other options. Both Japan and the US has enormous car manufacturing industries, as do many other non German countries.
- reillyse 10y agosure and they'll all have to negotiate a separate trade deal with the UK, we all know how simple those are to get done.
- BurningFrog 10y agoBritain is a free trading nation. That's one of the reasons they want out. No "trade deals" are needed for free trade.
- reillyse 10y agoTrade deals are needed for all trade, free or otherwise. Having free trade between two countries requires a trade deal.
- BurningFrog 10y agoFree trade only requires that the government doesn't stop goods in customs.
- Reason077 10y agoBritain doesn't make any good cars of their own Actually, Britain has a significant automotive industry - the third largest in Europe! British brands are heavily weighted towards premium, high quality models. Jaguar, McLaran, Land Rover, Mini, Bentley, Aston Martin, Lotus, Rolls-Royce, and others. There's also significant design and manufacturing presence in the UK for Ford, GM, Nissan, Toyota, and Honda.
