    While welcome, i don’t think that needs to happen right now – it wouldn’t change anything. Car dealerships still wouldn’t sell the higher BHP cars etc to Motability (or, in fact, any fleet customers), because they “need” to make money in times where production collapsed by what, 50%.

    Cars are not coming off the scheme (at the moment, anyway) because they’re too powerful or expensive – but because car manufacturers simply won’t sell them to fleet operations. The only solution to that would be to throw more money at it, use those billions in reserve funds to offer manufacturers a better price. That was the reserve fund is supposed to be used for in the first place – issues with supply.

    edit: at least that’s how i understand it.
