I live in the United States: My only "concern" about cars made here is that the parts are and will be exorbitantly high due to protectionism by our government and will be a lot more for a lot fewer features, efficiency and innovation and we'll have to win a class action lawsuit to even open the hoods of cars we "own" so we can repair them ourselves.

I don't quite follow that. Can you give an example? I buy car parts all the time and install them myself as well.

You stated your comment in the future tense. What are you anticipating?

That’s exactly what I fear may happen in Europe.

I don’t want to give a cent to European manufacturers because of the prices they want to subject us to, but I’m sure Europe will eventually do something about the Chinese allowing poor people to own cars.
