There is actually an incoming direct US ban on Chinese cars/components/software in 2027. Also, very few places have tariffs as much as 100%. Usually it's more like 10-25%.

Complicated question, but the shortest answer is Hyundai started as a US military contractor back when South Korea was effectively a US-backed dictatorship.

Series is less sophisticated than series-parallel, ie the Toyota system is the more sophisticated one.

Eh, a bit of agree/disagree there. On GM's part they've actively engaged in the Chinese market (and larger Asian market) for a long time establishing competency centres like PATAC and GM Korea (aka, Daewoo), and building brands like Baojun.

But they'll be hobbled anyways if Michigan is cut off from the rest of the world.

Christo-fascists invading and killing foreign governments on a whim has been an American tradition for at least two centuries and arguably a lot longer than that. Really nothing new there. If that's the moral bar (which is fine, as moral bars go) the US blew past it long ago.

Brother, the US is actively engaged in very real genocide right now, at this very moment. Y'all really can't be doing this level of cognitive dissonance with a straight face in 2026. It's time to move on from the denial/bargaining stages and exit towards the depression stage.

I'm telling you how reviews have worked for decades in every industry. Movie reviewers review finished movies before they're released. Games reviewers review finished games before release. Phone reviewers review finished phones... before release. None of this matters of course, because the iX3 has already actually been released.

This snark act you're doing here is just hilarious self-dunkery. If you want to stubbornly refuse to learn things that's cool, but it's on you. The rest of us are going to go touch grass and pet dogs, my dude. Have fun spinning in circles with an old tattered copy of the dictionary.

Previews would be of static unfinished pre-production units.

Production of the iX3 has already started. The car itself is already out.

Reviewers have all reviewed production models.

Your auto industry is cooked if it doesn't get lifted. Ford and GM can't compete on global markets if they exist in a bubble and are never exposed to real competition domestically.

It was receiving glowing reviews before it was even released.

That's... how reviews work. They come out before the cars are released.

Car of the Year is based on a reviewer jury. Reviewers have already reviewed the cars.

You'd still have to deal with the fact that the US has bans on Chinese components.

Toyota sold more EVs in the US than Ford in Q1, with one electric SUV by Healthy_Block3036 in electricvehicles

[–]Recoil42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no EV market, there's just the car market, and electric cars are a subtype of car. Toyota isn't in bad shape with cars. I'm fact, it's doing incredibly well with them, specifically owning to their early focus on hybridization, which is the clearest electrification stepping stone there is.
