Ford to bin the Fiesta off

[GazM]

Tell me about it, was tempted to get an Audi etron GT as I can get one through the work for my car allowance plus £220 per month including insurance. Enquired about it and the lead time is 16 months !

Not surprised. I've waited 11 months for a bloody VW golf petrol.

Fiat and Honda have both released new small electric cars, and they look fantastic IMO.

No doubt it can be done, you can even fit them in a sports package like the Tesla roadster. Personally I don’t think the Ford Puma is bad looking.
The problem is that small cars are no longer small or for that matter affordable for many.

Ford are fucked, it's only the Ranger thats keeping them going.

All part of the plan to get the common man out of the car, electric sure is not the future unless battery technology is revolutionized.

Some stunning small electric cars around, perfect for the city/short journeys, but what about people that drive big distances?

I guess they’re banking on being able to figure that out in the next decade or two. 2030 brings in a ban of new ICE cars, not taking existing ones off the road.

As a BMW guy nobody mourns the death of the naturally aspirated petrol engine more than me!

And if we all switch to electric, the electric grid will go into meltdown.

Plus the cost of electricity is still going up.

It’s sad that these days most people think of a car the same way they think of a dishwasher.

It’s why utter pieces of junk like the Quashquai are so popular.

Depresses the hell out of me.
