If the long term prospect of the tariff is that yeah. But since car parts and their tooling is made in 5-6 year cycles and plants in 25-40 year, the risk of tariff going away in 2028 means that some firms will not kill existing lines and shift them.

US car manufacturing labor cost is among the most expensive in the world. GMs average labour is 71 dollars an hour in US.

The other option is at short term to hike up prices where possible, cut corners where possible and kill least profitable products where possible. Niche products like GR86 made in Japan and mostly sold in US has no clear future for example unless a 25% price raise can be done.
