This particular plant is making premium SUVs and pickups, by the sound of it, so already luxury vehicles. It's not like they're making economy cars.

It's still going to affect the whole car market. A truck buyer might switch to a smaller car, limiting those, driving up used car prices. If workers get what they want and we get more appetite for car alternatives, win win.
