EU ban on petrol and diesel cars from city centres by 2050

Say goodbye to the Black Cab & London bus under EU plans In yet another case of ‘Why do we elect idiots to govern us?’, the EU is calling for a complete ban on all petrol and diesel powered cars from city centres by 2050.

Citroen C4 Aircross revealed – a day after the first Aircross tease

Citroen C4 Aircross That didn’t take long, did it? We thought we were in for the long haul of another daft tease from a car maker after we got the first tease shot of the Citroen C4 Aircross yesterday. But today the C4 Aircross gets revealed.

New car sales in UK still growing – up 14.8% April 2013. Driven by PPI Claims?

It is quite hard to fathom just how UK new car sales (well, registrations) continue to rise inexorably against a backdrop of otherwise stagnant economic activity, but they do. April 2013 has seen a total of 163,357 new car registrations, up a huge 14.8 per cent on April 2012 and the best figure since 2008, and these sales figures are not being driven by fleet buyers but by private motorists – private sector registrations grew by 32.3 per cent in April and are up by 15.2 per cent year to date. Not surprisingly, it’s the Superminis that are performing strongly – although all sectors are showing a rise – and it’s the Ford Fiesta that continues to be the best seller in the UK with sales of over 8,000 in April and over 42,000 so far in 2013, and the rise of superminis has also seen an increase in sales of petrol-engined cars thanks to the wave of small capacity, frugal petrol options.
