    Most American cars are made outside of the USA, and most countries that supply cars and parts and under tariffs from King Dingus so yeah, cars are fucking expensive NOW. They were already trending higher.

      Some parts may be made outside the US but many of the assembly plants and motor manufacturing are in the US.

      For example:
