Automation is one of my biggest fears that it could leave millions unemployed.  Yeah since people do not like tax increases and Tariffs are a tax I think Trump might have made a fatal mistake politically. 

Why should consumers pay more because Trump does not get that automation has had a larger impact on manufacturing in America than imports.  When you can build a thousand cars a day with just a few thousand people and bunch of robots tariffs will not change that.  If we had free University and Technical Schools and…

The Southeast has tons of factories that export vehicles and other goods around the world. If the rust belt cannot figure out how to do that it is not my problem.  Automation is a bigger threat anyway then imports especially with the EU having higher labor costs compared to the US.  

Well once Trump gets his way with tariffs the big domestic pick-ups will be pushed even more as luxury car alternatives. You would not believe how many chromed out $40k-50k trucks I see driving around many with illegal straight pipes and poorly done lift kits. We would be better off with no tariffs on imported…

The pictures in the article show a manual transmission.

My 2 series’s visibility is good. It is muscle cars and crossovers that are usually tough to see out of.

I like it alot. Too bad the US wants to increase tariffs on Japanese cars. On top of having a costly federalization policy and dealership protections.

Tarrifs will impact what cars are available to US consumers in America and the US car industry so it is relevant to talk about it on Jalopnik. I never understood this whole do not talk about politics. Politics and economics are connected.

Most of BMW’s SAV’s are built here. The rest of the line up is imported from Germany and South Africa and a few X1's from Brazil. So any tariff increase would pretty much lead to BMW losing tens of thousands of sedan and coupe sales.

Honda needs to build a Civc based ute now. That Concept is awesome.

Florida has some of the least pedestrian friendly roads ever. I am amazed a 40 mph road would go through an area with pedestrians.

Yeah I know there are worse freight rail systems out there. BNSF and UP both have made some major infrastructure investments over the years. The east coast railroads like CSX and even Norfolk Southern to an extent are not very competitive. Compare BNSF’s Southern Transcon between LA and Chicago to CSX route between…

Well with gas prices climbing again I bet by next year everyone will be dumping their trucks, SUVs back in 2008.

CSX is the largest railroad on the East Coast and pretty much the only show in town in Florida. They managed to lose intermodal traffic in a growing economy where rail related intermodal traffic was growing. I bet they will bankrupt themselves once all the cost cutting and poor quality service catches up with them. …

CSX has been laying people off, deferring maintenance, downgrading and selling off track and driving customers away. I have to deal with all the truck congestion in Florida because they provide terrible service. Rail infrastructure should be treated like the interstate highway system. Have it government maintained…

If we invested more in rail infrastructure than this trucker shortage would not be an issue. Also we need to nationalize our rail infrastructure so Wallstreet cannot destroy it like they have been doing.

This has to be the best 911 Porsche has made in years. I feel like this will be the type of car that will go for big bucks at auctions in 20 years. Especially with so few sports cars coming with manuals anymore.

That is why I wish land-use was dealt at a regional or state level so neighborhoods could not segregate themselves by income.

Yeah it really tough to get bipartisan support on anything anymore because of how polarized politics have become in US since the 80's.

Pretty much any Northeast or West Coast Boomer Liberal is like this.
