for example, it’s the EU that are requiring blind spot monitoring and auto anti collision braking to be added to cars.
Good. Wouldn’t want to miss either.
the size and weights have been increased to meet NCAP crash safety in clouding pedestrian impact requiring the bonnet to be either plenty of space underneath or the bonnet rises when impact is detected, so pedestrians head doesn’t hit anything hard.
How dare they require to make cars safer for everyone. Don’t they know that motorists are infallible and never hit anything, it’s always the pedestrians fault and with that, an impact should kill them?
driverless cars are a manufacturers fault, but that’s because Tesla are pushing it and others need to keep up with them
Don’t exist, so don’t know what the heck you’re even talking about.
im afraid that the majority buying/leasing cars today are the iPhone generation and want the car to perform like their phone
Buy a Duster. Or an old Lada.
Don’t know about other manufactures other than VAG and Ford but are they pulling the wool or are they like Ford, being reasonable…. or, is it just the models I’m looking at.
Erm.. I’m sure you missed it, but they charge over £5000 for a Kuga. That doesn’t seem particularly.. “great”, does it? It’s easy to say “well they’re reasonable, they didn’t change prices” when the car is already ridiculously overpriced for over half a year. And “yeah but Hybrid” isn’t an argument here, the Golf GTE is a hybrid too – and so is the Leon, and so is the 3008. The only hybrid that came close to that price was a top spec Mercedes in 250e guise. That’s “reasonable” for a Ford? I don’t know Jim.
