SURVEY RESULTS: More Than 80 Percent Say No to Vehicles from India or China
August 10, 2009

Last week’s AMN poll is showing numbers consistent with a recent study that says 15 percent of new car buyers in the U.S. would consider purchasing their next vehicle from China, and 11 percent would consider buying a car from India, without knowing specific brands or vehicles. Our survey revealed that 17 percent would buy a vehicle from China or India. According to research from AutoPacific, this makes India and China close contenders with Korea, which has been selling cars in the U.S. since the 1980s. (AutoPacific’s study showed that 16 percent would consider a Korean-made car.)

Below is a breakdown of results from our survey on the matter:

Would you buy a vehicle from China or India?

No: 82.69%
 
Yes: 17.31%
 

THIS WEEK’S POLL

The International Trade Commission is recommending that tariffs be placed on passenger and light truck tires from China in order to reduce the impact that imported tires are having on the domestic tire industry.
 
This week, we’d like to know: Do you believe a tariff on imported Chinese tires is necessary?
