About the removal of extra taxes on US-origin cars

It was published in the Official Gazette that the additional taxes applied to some products of US origin have been removed. There's talk that the 60% additional tax on passenger cars will be removed. This will take effect in 60 days — what pros and cons could this have for us?

Ford models that don't come to Turkey (the Explorer, etc.) might come, and cars made in America like the Mercedes GLE, GLS, BMW X5, X7 might come too.

Under the Ford brand, the Puma, Focus, and Kuga Connect are among the most common ones coming to Turkey, and these are made in Europe, so I don't think there'll be much of a change, but like @omerguler said, some SUV models might enter the Turkish market.

The extra 60% tax on cars imported from the US is being removed. Since most cars are already made in regions like Europe/Asia/Africa, not much will change option-wise. The extra tax on the US was removed, but an extra 30% was added for all the remaining regions. There aren't many cars made in the US that come to Turkey; maybe the X7 will make it into the country because of this.
