Latest news, trending discussions, reviews, and major updates
UK, June and YTD via SMMT.
The have "other British" but no Tesla???
And Peugeot sells as much cars as Renault and Citroen combined, interesting.
And fake brands like DS and Alpine will not make it to the next decade, particularly that gigantic failure DS......just stop it.
MG smashing it. Almost 4% of the UK market. The Bulldog is back! Oh wait... .
In other news not reported by HM Press, Porsche, cough, Taycan, is outselling Jaguar - the car made east of the Taycan in Austria.
Similarly, never commented on by HM Press, Hyundai(-Kia) is UK's leading car seller, 12% of the market.
Land Rover 'boosted' by huge, comparatively, registrations of new Full-fat - showroom demos, press fleet, dealer principal cars, Royals, VIPs, etc - and the first of similar for the new Sport.
Velar, DSport and Evoque like the mad old aunty in the attic - never mentioned now, verboten by the Media - real sales appalling.
Volvo more than any other. perhaps with JLR, is showing the crushing of the 'properous' middle class in Britain, over the last 6-12 months.
All those XC60, XC40 sales, many plug-in hybrids, up to £60k/£550 per month PCP, have evaporated, under the onslaught of EV, and the pressure to pay day to day bills to stay afloat.
Volvo desperately needs EVs - more than the so-so XC/C40. Luckily for it, it's about to get them - the new XC90, BEV version, etc, in 6-12 months.
JLR, once all the padding of launch stocks of the new Full-fat and Sport fall out, and punters realise that +10% over rrp paid for a Full-fat/Sport/Defender in the last 12-18 months, is the worst investment ever, with fuel at £2/litre, and anyone with a brain, and a company letterhead, buying EV, for the huge tax and other advantages, will fall like Volvo is now - without the on the horizon EVs to save it - witness Jaguar - real sales in UK under 0.5% of the market - what it was doing pre-John Egan days in the nadir of the 1970s.
Stick a fork in it. Have some balls. Admit the truth, grow up.

Tesla is always listed in "Other Imports". I'm not sure if this is because they don't supply figures to the SMMT, or simply that they're not a member. In any case, it's reasonable to assume the 90%+ of the "Other Imports" are Tesla in a slow month, or 98% of them in a big month.
- seems the 'chip shortage' is not as severe in Germany as UK. Hmm.
Mike Hawes, SMMT Chief Executive, said:
'The semiconductor shortage is stifling the new car market even more than last year’s lockdown.'
I think Mike is 'doing a Boris' - lying his head off.

We're down 11.9% YTD, Germany is down 11.0%. I'd say that's reasonably comparable.
Those cars are dead - at best rental fleet fodder.
UK is all about 'style'- image. MINI makes it, into the Top Ten, because it makes 'a statement', even compared to a BMW 1-Series - same car underneath.
UK is SUV-central. That's what turbo powered JLR, from the mid 90s to the mid to late 2010s. The 2011 Evoque was a Mondeo-(Volvo)S60(/80) underneath, but charged around twice the price, for that 'premium SUV' 'niche' - where the Evoque was outselling the Mondeo about 3:1 at its peak around 2014/15.
An SUV, 'premium' one more so of course, says 'I've made it' in UK. Just 15 years ago or so, 'Mondeo Man(/Woman)' was the beloved stereotype of the aspirational, done good, lower to middle class.
EVs have now torn that up, in turn, with previously literal, stuck up, looking down their noses types, grabbing any EV, due to their tax advantages in UK, and so getting back into low saloons - Model 3, Taycan etc.
Even the 'SUV' EVs are not really. They're high-riding estates - E-tron, iX, coming Polestar cars, etc. This is of course due to the overriding aero requirement - low roof as possible, reduced frontal and cross-sectional area.
So, the SUV thing, unless very rich, £100k+, for a coming G-Class BEV or Full-fat Range Rover BEV type of thing, is being reversed with the EV thing.
Also, with fuel here at £2/litre, people will rediscover that a Golf does 5-10 mpg more than a Tiguan, for the same powertrain.
Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuure - "refine production processes" etc - not at all to do with a desperate need to slash output, everywhere globally, but still under-the-spell California/coastal 'elites' US, to meet real demand, collapsing exponentially, by the day, as the vast majority of people concentrate on paying for food, utlity bills, rather than buying a breakable toy for average $55-65k, that's a one trick pony, and now has multiples of better, cheaper competitors, from real companies, making repeatable, quality products:

'Elon', 'Boris', 'Zelensky' - something in common, but I can't put my finger on it - fake? Big Media/PR, London/NYC creations, compulsive liars, frauds, children in men's bodies, criminals fronting for the deep state in each country, finishing off the plundering of the population? Just w*nkers?
Tesla pauses output in Germany, China after ending shaky quarter, reports say
Tesla will use the break at its plant near Berlin to refine production processes, such as cutting the time each car spends at manufacturing stations.

According to JATO Dynamics’ data for 53 markets, 17 million vehicles were registered in Q1 of 2022. This marks an 8% increase on sales in the same period in 2020, but 16% less than the 20.3 million units registered in 2019. While the industry rebounded strongly in 2021 as pandemic-imposed restrictions were eased, the combined impact of ongoing chip shortages, the worsening inflationary crisis, and the conflict in Ukraine are proving to be even more challenging for the industry.
