Can't sell cars to people who don't want them.

Bet they'll just make the imported cars more expensive or illegal. Make zombie companies instead of reflecting on decades of political mismanagement.

Easy solution: high tariffs on cars from outside the EU, especially from the USA. I don't like cars myself, but I'd much rather European car industries to survive than have bad American import shit here.

this all also would help
