🚗 Luxury carmaker Bentley is hitting potholes in the U.S. market, with CEO Frank-Steffen Walliser telling CGTN that unpredictable tariffs are causing customers to ‘hold back on decisions’ like never before. 🌍 ‘All manufacturers are facing a very difficult situation under high U.S. tariffs,’ he said, pointing to market uncertainty as the ultimate vibe-killer for big-ticket purchases.
💡 The comments highlight a growing tension in global trade – even premium brands aren’t immune to geopolitical speed bumps. While Walliser didn’t name specific models, analysts suggest tariffs could cool demand for Bentley’s six-figure vehicles among U.S. buyers already wary of economic headwinds.
🛎️ The takeaway? Luxury markets thrive on confidence, and right now, tariffs are the ultimate buzzkill. ‘It’s like planning a tropical vacation during hurricane season,’ said one industry watcher. ‘Why commit now when the rules might change tomorrow?’
