No single market access for UK after Brexit...

[vetran]

So you think UK will suddenly switch from BMW, VW, Audi, Skoda, Porsche et al to buying Rovers?

If German cars become 30% more expensive I suspect many will switch to UK produced ones.

With Jaguar, LandRover, Nissan & BM they have a choice. Maybe German manufacturers will start producing cars in the UK?

Unless I've missed some nuance, he's stating the bleeding obvious. Indeed, it's essentially Vote Leave policy that we'd not Bremain within the single market (but still have fettered access), otherwise we'd need to abide by free movement. Of course, it's perfectly legitimate for Vote Leave to spin this ("we're a big economy, we might get a special deal" etc.), in the same way that Bremain spin the minor changes to in-work benefits as being relevant to immigration, but I think every sensible person on the Leave side understands that "full" access to the single market is not an option.

Non-story.

That attitude is totally at odds with the CUK method of finding a point of view, entrenching your position and try to defeat any challenge of any sort whether it has merit or not

You are pretty good at writing and arguing points. Dont worry you will soon resort to insults, generalisations, smears and cliches.

Why not? The UK is a huge car market and the 5th biggest economy in the world.

80% of new car sales to private individuals is leasing - this is only possible with cheap debt leveraged against house pricing that only go up.

In the event of Brexit this country will be a lot poorer and won't be able to afford to buy new cars as much as it does not, that's probably the only reason Germans actually bother.

Most people in UK already can't afford to buy a new car, they are not even taking loan to buy and own it, they are renting it now on personal finance.
