Same car, built in the same factory, right here in California: very cheap low-end stripper cars.  Consumer Reports rated the Toyotas above average and the same car with the Chevrolet badge on below average.  They never could explain how it happened.

Have you factored in the several thousand dollar increase on cars imported into the US? Would you be in favor of a complete elimination of all barriers to trade in cars?
