In this CarPod episode, Ken and Fipo dive into the murky waters of tariffs on imported cars, with Trump boldly claiming that the government will rake in the profits while the American people foot the bill. The discussion delves into the inclusion of car parts in these tariffs, leading to confusion over their origins and potential cost implications. The team expresses skepticism about the true benefits of these tariffs, questioning whether they will truly benefit the US as promised.

Shifting gears, the conversation turns to how various car manufacturers are responding to the looming threat of price hikes due to tariffs. Aston Martin takes the spotlight as they announce yet another equity raise, highlighting their financial struggles exacerbated by their heavy reliance on the US market. Lawrence Stroll's significant investments in the company and the Formula 1 team hint at a strategic move to navigate the turbulent waters ahead.

The team emphasizes the urgent need for Aston Martin to innovate and pivot towards producing mid-engine cars to stay competitive in the market. Drawing parallels to Nissan's struggles, they stress the importance of investing in innovation to secure success in the ever-evolving automotive landscape. The discussion underscores the critical role of forward-thinking and strategic decision-making in ensuring the long-term viability and relevance of iconic car brands like Aston Martin.
