So looks like the tariff on imported Hondas will now be 35% for the time being? That's the 25% auto import tariff plus the reciprocal tariff on all countries that haven't retaliated, like Japan.

25% tariff on imported auto parts starts May 3.

Honda has probably already stopped all vehicle imports, to avoid paying the tariff.
I don't think the 10% tariff stacks with the 25% auto tariff but who knows - this is changing by the day and it's incredibly frustrating for many of us. Dumbest trade war in history.

Or they could still import more CTR's since VW/Audi has stopped importing theirs.

Not surprised. VW has done OK, but Audi has been struggling in the US for a few years. BMW has taken the sporty mantle. Mercedes has taken the luxury mantle. Audi has tried taking the technology mantle…but it hasn’t been a convincing differentiator for most people shopping those upscale German brands.

Any Honda imported today the company has to pay 25% of the import cost, which I have no idea what it is for the Type R but if it's like $38k, that's almost $10k Honda America has to pay. No way they will do that, they'll stop importing them.
