I guessed we would all be paying to cover the costs associated with anything going to America, it's the only way to keep prices near what people or businesses will pay and not decimate a single large market.

Everything he touches gets the life sucked out of it.
Ah... yea... thats a little much.I almost wish I could buy a second Grenadier right now just to help Sir Jim/Ineos out. And here I thought I'd never have anything approaching sympathy for a billionaire ever again.
Exactly. It’s so refreshing you see things the same way, and you’re all so invested in Making America Great Again. Wow - we were a little nervous you all would be pissed at us for tanking the global economy and destroying your net worth in the last 48 hours! Hands making heart emoji.That’s gold.
Let’s look at other barriers to imports from the poor old USA
- our exchange rate makes US (and other) imports costly
- transport costs over 15,000km costs a lot
- the quality of many goods (cars in particular) isn’t very good so we’d often prefer something else
- we charge a LCT and a GST - shame on us
- our produce is a superior quality so we’d prefer to buy our own if it hasn’t been exported somewhere else
- there is a strong preference to buy Australian Made. How dare we. That said, we don’t manufacture much anymore so buying local has diminished
- I’m sure there are a thousand more.
No wonder Trump is pissed off with us Aussies, we’re just ungrateful bastards really.
Because other countries love it and don't have a chicken tax.

The Australian owned company I work for also manufactures 95% of our products in Australia.That’s gold.

Exactly. It's a niche vehicle within a niche company and that's what it aspires to be. It doesn't require broad market capture like a Toyota model.
Correct... if it fits your needs and you can afford the best in the class, here it is QM. Jeep Gladiator was mentioned at 38k as an option...they can't be mentioned in the same sentence especially if sophisticated quality is spoken of...it was also mentioned that it's roof comes off...wow...when?
Otherwise, Divine intervention and judgement are acceptable alternatives. I mentioned the possibility to Our Lady of Guadalupe yesterday at the Basilica in Mexico City - let’s see how she wants to play this.
I'm looking at it like someone that needs a pickup truck, for it being a pickup truck. I can get two trucks that do everything better, including hauling passengers, for the price of an Ineos. That's why no one is buying them.
