Renault has very little to zero presence in the US, so the tarrifs don't affect them as much...

Here's the webArchive link to the paywalled article: LINK

isn't it renault chrysler dodge???

[โ€“] AnanasMarko@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

No, it's Renault Nissan Mitsubishi

[โ€“] MrPoletki@feddit.uk 2 points 4 days ago

But I though Ford Dodged Skodas Lobbedatem?

[โ€“] Patch@feddit.uk 4 points 6 days ago (2 children)

No, Chrysler and Dodge are Stellantis. Which is Peugeot, Citroen, Fiat, Opel and others.

[โ€“] NotJohnSmith@feddit.uk 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Got you, so do we avoid buying Stellantis cars because am element of the ownership is American? Or because they're based on NL they get a pass?

[โ€“] Patch@feddit.uk 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'd be inclined to see them as a European company which trades in America, rather than a company with American ownership. The reality is that if you buy a Stellantis European marque in Europe, it's almost certainly made in European factories, designed by European engineers, and the company's corporate HQ functions are also in Europe. If you buy a Ram truck from them, though, it's probably originated from their US operations.

Thanks, it's helpful to help alignment said course each of us then have more localised interests but to be aligned on the primary goal helps enforce

I honestly think there are no winners here... this trade war hardly makes sense.

[โ€“] bitchkat@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I can't say I recall any Renault vehicle sold in the US since Le Car.

They canโ€™t buy what they canโ€™t pronounce, poor dears.

"Just say 'renno', it's not a Ren-Alt"

"RAY-KNOW"

yeah whatever

Foreign stuff confuses and frightens the meek American, especially words. When faced with the Renault Scรฉnic the American will respond by retreating into its den, and to seek the comfort of its barbecue grill and cans of beer.

Bit early to call it that, though it is warm for this time of year.

Just people shooting themselves in the foot and blaming other people.
