But According to Automoto News EuropeCar imports from the UK have increased by 39 % since 2022, and it is possible that imports may exceed the new quota this year.
However, not every UK car industry is so happy. Big Three -Ford, General Motors, and Stellats – in Detroit – are worried that most luxury cars from the UK get a break, while they have no relief on sale of sales in the United States here.
“We are disappointed that the administration has preferred the UK before our North American partners. Under this deal, it will now be cheaper to import a UK vehicle with very few US content from Mexico or Canada’s USMCA compliance with very few US content.
What is worse is that American car makers fear that this is just the beginning of things to come. “We hope that this preferential access to British vehicles in North America will not set the example of future talks with Asian and European rivals,” Blint said.
