Prob not but I hope so. CA people should buy more Mazdas and Hondas than Toyotas. Because they are more fun to drive.

The people in the respective towns will care a lot.

99.999% of everyone else won't. Camrys will still get bought. Nothing significant will change. Toyota couldn't make the best selling car in the US if we actually cared about where the shit we want comes from.

But Toyota is not building cars in California. This is just about "payback", and Mazda selling more cars to fund the RX-7 and MS cars again.

They could be building them on Mars and teleporting them here for all the typical Toyota buyer cares. There will be no 'payback'. The folks who care about this enough to sway their purchasing choices don't even amount to a rounding error. Loyal Toyota buyers in Cali who've been gobbling up Camrys and Corollas forever will continue to do just that.

Kia, Hyundai, Kia, and Honda will definitely take this as an opportunity. Honda might be leaving for Ohio, but Kia just built a 50 million dollar HQ in Irvine. Mazda and Hyundai also have their own HQs there.
