Cars that don’t exist any more
I was walking past a house earlier with a 14 year old Mazda people carrier thing on the drive, four flat tyres and covered in green slime. I thought to myself no one is going to bother going to the cost and effort of putting that back on the road and that got me thinking further. What cars used to exist but don’t any more because they just weren’t worth restoring or keeping?

Nope, you still get those at the occasional car club meet. They’re also the ones worth saving.

MPVs don't seem to be selling anymore

The figures show that small SUVs have displaced the Zafira/Picasso/Scenic

Or figures show that parents with more than 3 kids are dumping one in the boot. Or that people have less sex now.
How about not having a sig at all?

Why doesn't he just post up his source and be done with it?
I don't understand anything.

Because his sources are Daily Mail articles banned from Wikipedia.

What are you on about ?
I said before that you don't see many Jag XE's about compared to the 3 Series and C Class.
Sources : common sense seeing them on the road, auction sales records, numbers advertised on AutoTrader, howmanyleft and http://carsalesbase.com/european-car-sa ... el-zafira/

Re: Cars that don’t exist any more
Oh and the fact that Ford have dropped the B-Max and C-Max in favour of small SUVs, the same as Citroen/Peugeout, Mercedes changed the body type of the A Class years ago etc
Also SSMT figures show small MPV sales dropped 20% in 2017, whereas small SUV's grew at the same rate :

Look at the figures of the X Type vs the XE.

Re: Cars that don’t exist any more
Yep and it's utter BS. Jag didn't make a profit until very recently. If you expect me to believe a company still couldn't turn a profit when demand was supposedly out stripping supply then you think we're all a bunch of mugs.Rich B wrote: ↑Sun Jul 29, 2018 12:59 pmi think you’ll find the exact words you used were:Nathan wrote: ↑Sun Jul 29, 2018 12:29 pmWhat are you on about ?
