    Ah, Merc can't increase prices by 10% if Audi decides not to do so, but now they are ALL in the same boat and will be able to sneak in 2-3% increases on top of that to cover the agrro.

      Cretin dispatched. Next!
      Why doesn't every luxury goods maker increase the prices of goods by 20%?? It seems Andy here knows all about buying habits of population and nobody really cares for value for money.
      Vote Corbyn ! Save this country !

          So you don’t think the EUSSR coordinates pricing to funnel money from the British consumer into the Merkelreich. How sweet.

            EUSSR will benefit from nice 10% bump on British car exports that will become non-competitive - plenty of choices of cars in EU, unlike UK.

              Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                  To be fair, it's been closer. But compared to the Swiss Franc, it's never been lower.

                      It will all be for nought when the UK takes the lead in producing electric vehicles powered by batteries made in Cornwall with their vast resources of Lithium.

                      Cornish Lithium finds “globally significant” grades at UK project - MINING.COM

                      You heard it here first.

                      You can stick your eco-busting Teutonic gas-guzzlers up your backsides!!
