Maybe I misheard it, but I thought they said on BBC TV the other day that reverting to WTO rules would mean that a 10% tariff would be imposed on cars, thus wiping out Japanese car manufacturers' profit margins in the UK and making it more worthwhile for them to relocate to the EU.
Ian Duncan Smith was interviewed on Radio 4 yesterday lunchtime and said he was in favour of reverting to WTO rules. As far as I remember, he didn't mention the car industry.
