Is it possible the price difference between Chinese and Euro cars in the Euro market wont be as great as what it is in the Australian market, before taking into account proposed 45% tariff.
It’s a pity that you didn’t take the time to at least look at entry point pricing,
it’s generally at least 20% more expensive that Aussie Ford pricing.

What you’ll find with that is the Chinese manufacturers will charge same price
in Europe as they do here but yes, a 45% tax would be some real lead in the saddle bag.
The unfortunate thing is the average punter pays the extra back to the Eu as tax
that the boof heads in government get to spend on their pet projects….
