Definitely not bc these brands are being propped up by their government in order to flood world markets.

Everyone should be able to make a luxury 30k vehicle sustainably

The North American car market is more subsidized than any other. It is why it is so uncompetitive.

North America imports cars in large quantities from every car making region in the world (that is not banned). What parts of the world sell high volumes of NA vehicles? They are not banned, just unwanted.

It's not like the US hasn't proped up our own industry to push out competition and dominate global markets. Nope, definitely never did that.
There’s controlling competition in your own country and dominating global markets. Nothing wrong with either. It’s not like it’s not happening anywhere else in the world.
It just makes me laugh when people complain about China propping up it's industry to complete globally. The US has overthrown governments to protect its geopolitical priorities.

I've got no love for China, but I'm not gonna shed a tear for a large corporations crying over someone else having an unfair advantage.
