Europe, China And Japan RESTART Development Of The Combustion Engine!!

We can’t go back… I love my old cars but the planet can’t take much more notwithstanding the effect on our breathable air!

Jaguar have really screwed themselves... I always thought that they were jumping into electric-only far too early. Has there ever been a car company that's been so mismanaged yet still survives?

I have always been against electricity being ruled as a blanket solution to everything.

This is what happens when hype meets reality.

Just goes to show how government really knows nothing about anything

At age 64 here in the States, I ride my e-bike on errands around town and commuting half the time, and I drive a regular car for the rest and for now, that works well for me. And an EV would not be possible, no way to charge it in my apartment and too pricey to purchase. And last February I went on a road trip with a friend who drives a gas/electric hybrid car and that was great, seemed about perfect. Gas power on the highway, electric power around town and the car knows which power source to tap on its own. Cool.

I don't have EV's.. But I hate the push to force out ICE.

Governments need to GET THE HELL OUT of the auto business.

Governments also failed by badly supporting infrastructure: In order to make an EV useful, the car needs to be charged when you set off on a journey, which means home charging. People living in cities (especially in high rise flats) without home parking have no access to this & there has been no incentive to resolve it.

Nothing screams "car guy" like a Weber DCOE as an ornament on a side table.

let's bring in repairable long lasting cars, stop built in redundancy. that way we make less cars and save our resources.

My V8 is 35 years old and with decent maintenance will outlast EV's on the road now.

Said from day one that electric is not going to be the way forward! The damage and the carbon footprint for electric cars is higher when you take into account the batteries!

Agree with you 100% on the weight issue Jack. 👍

I've bought my 3 children a Toyota Aygo, Suzuki Alto and Vauxhall Agila as first cars, all small, light, normally aspirated petrol. All under £2k, all reliable, all 50mpg+. No manufacturing carbon footprint due to age. As a means to get from A to B cars cars like these are the best solution imo. Btw, I'm no eco warrior, I own an R8 😂

As an Aston Martin DB9 owner I see this as further proof that I need to just carry right on as normal! No I don't daily it, I have a hybrid SUV for doing the boring everyday family stuff but on Sundays & Fundays, just for a few hours I haven't a care in the world! Long live the Infernal Combustion Engine I say!👍👏👏👏☺️ PS. A DB9 only weighs 1785kg😉

As a EV owner this is great news. EV's are crap

100% agree that cars should be taxed by weight. Its ROAD tax (VED is the tax you pay to use to use your car on the road for and pedantics out there)! Use it to fix the roads being crushed by these tanks

I think I will invest in small, coal-burning steam engines for road use.

It truly is inevitable! Greetings from the Netherlands. Thanks for all the work you put in Jack. Well worth it.
