Good. The Duke is the silliest ever car. Don't worry we're going to buy Nissan Sunderland and Honda Swindon for a pound each when they close and then utilize the buildings and the workforce to set up a state car industry using the Northampton genius pool to get the product sorted.

Re: Nissan
5k jobs at VAG (was 7k but they're creating 2k due to electric vehicles)
JLR on its arse.
Honda shifting production back home.
Vaxuhall/Opel struggled and ended up being taken over by PSA.
Renault and FCA considering a partnership/alliance that would save the companies billions.
Diesel sales/emissions is a big factor in this, along with a shift over to Electric requirements.
Also a collapse in sales over in China is causing major issues.
Ford closing various plants down around the world I think, like it's diesel engine one in the UK, the same engines they sell to the likes of JLR and PSA...
The EU deal with Japan means it's also better financially for Japanese car makers to build more in Japan and export them here.

The sooner we start looking after ourselves coupled with a few if our allies the better.
Too many folk wrapped up in looking after folk from all over the world that we are actually neglecting our own.
Sadly seems to only be getting worse, we should get our own house in order before caring what the rest of the people are doing in their homes.

You know full well that it actually endangers jobs for Japanese companies who have manufacturing plants inside the EU.
If we were to remain, Honda would still go.
Nissan would still stop production of its larger diesel only SUV in the UK.
Same if we leave.

I've already told you the answer.
Nissan is a poor product brand, underpriced its product in an effort to increase sales, has been hit by low sales in the US mainly, plus other markets.
Their former CEO is currently under investigation for financial fraud I think it is and of course they've been hit hard with the diesel emissions issue.
You probably already know because you spend time researching but one model of the Nissan Navara suffered with chassis problems, resulting in the chassis snapping in many instances, thus harming the brand name.
It all adds up eventually to a collapse and yeah there will be some jobs shed at Sunderland but the point is that with or without Brexit jobs would go regardless because Nissan is in big big trouble.
It's also on the verge of having its ties with Renault severed because Renault is currently trying to get into bed with FCA as that's a better prospective partner in the long term.
Once Renault bins Nissan off then we should see some real fireworks go off.

How does any of that change the fact that Brexit has made, and will continue to make our country less attractive and less profitable? Which in turn makes our country MORE attractive for jobs cuts when corporations, for whatever reason, need to cut jobs?

Just like Ford moved Transit production, just like PSA left Coventry, just like Rover went bang etc etc.
It happens regularly enough even a dullard like you should know it will happen again and again with or without brexit.

Yes, it getting worse and we need to deal with it.Imploding Turtle wrote:"But the climate has always changed"
The automotive industry is going through a change that ultimately will help with climate change.
You'll catch on soon enough.... or not.
Fossil fueled engines have a shorter lifespan now thankfully due to changes demanded by the government's.
I'm all for it, it's a good thing, but they aren't being strict enough.
Now we've established that, can we move on?
Nissan is on its arse, Sunderland will lose jobs if we are in or out of the EU.
It might be 7k, it might be 3.5k, it might not be any.
It could just be natural losses from retirements or departures through choice and they don't replace them.
It could be due to better automaton like they're foreseeing at VAG which is why they're predicting 5k job losses.
It's going to happen over the next 3-4 years, let's see how it pans out....try it, you might like it or carry in blaming everything you can on Brexit like you usually do.
So long as you're happy, then the rest of us are.

Well the other year on this very forum I did point this out when someone started a thread on the automotive industry and I was told several times I didn't have a clue.Wokingclaret wrote:Well we know lots of electric and Hybrid mobiles coming out in the next year or so, why commit to a 20k petrol or diesel model now
I said then and I've said now, people tend to be relatively loyal to a brand of vehicle.
A VW owner isn't going to buy an electric Renault, they'd rather wait for a VW version, same with Range Rover owners.
This was one of the reasons for a fall in sales, especially in diesels and the revelation that they're actually quite harmful for people and the environment, because manufacturers were cheating the tests, so people weren't going to rush out and buy more of them.
Naturally a certain group of people didn't believe me and one dick in particular became quite abusive, thankfully he's not posting on here anymore because he got out of hand with it but he does owe me an apology because I was right all along.
So yeah, there are people waiting for their favoured brand to release an electric or hybrid model they want to buy before they'll upgrade.
Some are just waiting for a model they like of any brand and then there are people who can't afford it and are buying second hand motors like they've always done.
There's also a belief that PCP has the potential to be the next financial crash, but we will have to wait and see on that one.

Re: Nissan
In regards to diesels though, the government aren't doing enough to stop lorries, taxis and buses from spewing harmful emissions out, especially older models
I was sat behind a 17 yr old lorry today and its pretty grim , using old emissions reducing tech.
There's a lot of them around, but the government don't seem overly arsed about it.
Same with Taxis sitting at a rank with an engine running etc.
More and more buses could be switched over to different engines.
