With Rishi’s pushback to 2035 for petrol and diesels announced today - how will this positively or negatively affect our bangernomics?

It will be pushed out further than that.

Unfortunately manufacturers are already committed to electrification, and I haven't seen any movement from the EU on their deadlines for phasing out new pure petrol or diesel cars yet? And the EU is 10x the market of UK. So that's what everyone will build for. I doubt anyone will maintain a small sideline in pure petrol/diesel just for us.

But who knows? I know it's like swearing in church, but while EV will work for a lot of people, it won't work for everyone. A big chunk of people simply won't afford it. Regardless of stuff like scaling up charging infra. I just don't see how this grand all EV future is possible in such a short time. It will take decades.

But hey ho, maybe I'm just old and cranky 😅

Even though times have changed, it still hurts me a little to be calling a 2 grand car a banger! 😂

Not in the market myself but thought there might be someone on here this might tickle

That A3 is gone already. When I was looking at it I noticed it had been listed last month for £500 less. Would have been a cracking car at that money.
