I mean if we can't buy VW's or BMW's then sales of none EU made cars will rise. We will still buy cars, just not german cars! That's a lot of trade for Germany to say goodbye to.
Yes we get access to each others markets but with freedom of movement. By the way the EU is much bigger than us in terms of GDP and addressable market so the advantage is theirs.
