The SMMT said a previous target of producing two million cars a year was now impossible as the UK remains in Brexit limbo.

UK car manufacturing fell for the tenth month in the row in March as the industry warned that output from the sector could fall to 1980s levels in the event of a no-deal Brexit.

It reported an 18.1% fall in vehicles produced for domestic use and a 13.4% downturn for overseas - the latter blamed on continued weaker demand in key Asian and European markets.

Meanwhile there’s a year waiting list for some electric vehicles. They are building the cars they want you to own, not the ones people want to buy.

Cars are OVER PRICED. So its better if the car industry returned to the so feared ‘dark days’. Too many FAT CATS

With the low emission zone, poorer people cannot afford new cars, so less cars around and an impact on jobs that supply the car industry through less purchasing of older parts

When is Aston Martin going to build a peoples car ? just saying mind.

Nothing new. Patrick Minford 2012 You're going to have to run it down like we did with the coal and steel industries. He's the Tory economic advisor since Thatcher

Manufacturing will continue to struggle because of tariff-free trade. While we have such a weak industry compared with other EU nations. The industry isn't getting any investment so we should be more protective.

🙄🙄 so one day sky is telling us we have to listen to those that say we should have less cars....next they're moaning we're making less cars 🤔🤔 am I missing something

Stop making them, million new ones not yet sold, you can only drive one, I see house holds with up to 3 cars each one neighbour has 7, he's very popular as well, not 😡!!

Is it just me but I couldn't care less about the car market. We have more than enough cars. Everyone who can drive owns at least one and there's a zillion new and used still on the forecourts . Stop making more cars !!!!

50 years might be quite different from now oil might be costly expensive.

wellmake only electric cars /hybreds cut VAT 2 00 %

Hope they rot and collapse into a thousand pieces and scatter into the winds. The U.S. auto market depends on it

Happiness for Greta and all the environmentalists .
