    Ford Plans to Shift Some Lincoln Production to US

    Ford Motor Co. plans to move production of some Lincoln models
    from China to the U.S. beginning in 2030, Ford's CEO told Reuters
    on Wednesday, saying the move was difficult but necessary rCito
    strengthen the U.S. auto manufacturing base.

    Gasoline-powered cars and electric vehicles imported from China
    are subject to U.S. tariffs. The tariff on the Lincoln Nautilus,
    the main vehicle Ford imports from rUaChina, is 52.5%, Ford confirmed.

    "We made this decision as soon as the policy of the administration
    was set," Ford rCiCEO Jim Farley said, referring to the tariffs.

    "We knew exactly what they wanted to do, and we knew exactly what
    rUait meant for Ford," Farley said in a joint interview with
    Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.

    The U.S.-made Lincoln models would be sold in the domestic market
    as part of an effort to scale up output, Farley said, although
    the company did not disclose where they would be produced.

    Why the fuck would I buy a Chinese/Mexican/Whatever

    or Honda or Kia straight up.

    Continentals ARE, or at least WERE, nice American
    product. You could take pride in owning one - a
    sign of patriotism and of "making it".
