State department hand wringing that China is going to use the US trade agreements as they were designed is 
I fully expect them to redo these with "except china" clauses.
Not if they build the factories in Mexico!
I never looked into it... but now I'm wondering if there are POV style vehicles that you legally aren't allowed to get registered at the DMV?
Could there be a federal regulation or 50 states worth of state regulation that prohibits the import, sale, and registration of certain makes/models of vehicles?
It's more of a "it's cost-prohibitive to ship something we can't price gouge the shit out of and there's a lack of infrastructure to support it" deal.
This is the likely outcome. China would still make most of the parts, and they'll be assembled in Mexico. It's going to destroy US and Canada auto manufacturing. ... I live in Canada, and the writing is on the wall. Our entire economy relies on housing market go up. Canada is going to be 'third world' in 20 years. Pockets of good services surrounded by utter poverty.... I had brown outs this weekend. I live in a population center.
