I know nothing of car body construction, but even so 3mm of steel is seriously thick. At one time windows were of this thickness having previously been 4mm and having since reverted to that.

The price and subsidies thereon are nothing to do with the EU, they’re specific to Germany. There is no system of EU wide subsidies.

Ooooh, an Avenger! Exciting times.

Given that trucks are limited to 80 kmh in Germany ( they can't even legally reach their 90 kmh limiters) being stuck behind a caravan at 100 or so isn't an issue).

Might want to try, maybe the hand brake in future?

Not just Korea! Buy a Tesla in various parts of Europe and you can use CCS directly (Model 3) or get an adaptor (S and X).

Interesting that it’s being built by Meyer who in recent times have been building only cruise ships -they’re one of four yards who build most of the world’s liners and they own one of the other two.

Direct injection came first though.

Nope. Read the article again. Developing fuel injection was the secret behind making the diesel principle work.

Mechanical (obviously, there was nothing else).

That may have been the inspiration, but these particular handles first turned up on the Allegro and then became ubiquitous in the UK motor industry, appearing on the TR7, Range Rover, Discovery and a whole host of more obscure cars.

Seemingly so. I've never bought a new car but my father has had quite a few and they've all been ordered and were sourced from the distributor or another dealer.

Also, pizza as originally made in Naples isn't much like what you would buy today outside Naples.

Depends where you are. Dealers where I am keep only a token number of new cars in stock. If what you want isn't among them they source it from the distributor or another dealer.

Not as tiny as the iQ though. It didn't sell anywhere.

Well, I've a Smart Roadster, so the answer is...me!

Also, pics or it didn't happen.

And that’s just the VW ones.

I noticed yesterday that Volkswagen had announced a new smallish SUV for the UK market, the VW Taigo

It was a GM T car and had many names. It was I believe a Chevette in North America.
