    They need competition. But the imported cars are being heavily subsidized by China to build the market.

    Maybe let the tiny cars in? Because there’s minimal competition there at the moment and people would buy the heck out of a cheap small car. Maybe will push market in right direction

      Did the US automakers nuke all of their small, inexpensive offerings due to lack of demand or their inability to sell those vehicles for prices they deemed ‘acceptable’?
