We are still the largest market for cars coming out of that plant if I am not mistaken... don't worry about the jobs. this would be how a trade war works.
Cliff notes version: Increased pricing will most likely lead to lower demand. Lower demand = less production = less workers. Net/net this is a loss for BMW and US, specifically the people employed in these US plants.
The US is the largest market by a mile of crossovers and suv's... and with China's recent money; i simply dont see such a demand drop as people might be going on and on about.

Right, because increasing the price of any automobile product never has an effect on demand......
