With my CRZ needs to be very powerful diesel to getaway. Around 240+ hp due to extra weight and turbo lag. Thats why a Turbo wouldn't hurt a BRZ. Times have moved on from NA. Realistically how much longer can they make NA in EU with the 86. Most likely the last generation. They will have to look at Hybrid alternatives similar to the ISF Lexus or exclude it from EU. It would only add a few horses but make it more driveable especially in town at lower speeds without burning all the petrol accelerating from lights. Have remember competition and what people are getting for £28,000-£33,000 pounds

Taycan and 8 Series have good modern designs.

Lets see what Toyoda does in coming months. That should do well and glad to see many of them on the road still. Shame about the power. At least do a TRD version with as much power as Hyundai 276 hp and turbo charged...for EU. Thats asking a lot and changes the characteristics of the car

While i might try an electric or automatic in future when im 55-75....im happy with petrol and petrol hybrid. No rush.

MC Hammer went broke from holes in those pockets. Well its a good case for Aston Martin and co to set up dealership networks outside Europe. There is a huge market believe it or not in US, Africa and Asia. These guys pay cash too. I guess those guys are not fans of Greta and the gang.

worded that wrong. What I meant was the telematic box to track you and how many miles covered. Its ok for classic cars to be exempt. People have paid for them lol

https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/cars/1369318/car-tax-changes-classic-car-uk-owners-electric-vehicle-pay-per-mile “Any taxation scheme should serve to deter long term petrol/ diesel uptake and help the population move towards greener solutions.” "Pay per mile systems will force drivers to install telematics black box devices inside their cars to monitor how many miles drivers have covered." Haha, kindly p*** off..... Classic cars remain exempt hmm. Long term EV exemption isnt sustainable. No sheet ...

"power =! fun" - Famous quote All you hear these days. I always thought lightweight + handling was better than outright power and struggling for traction. I saw a guy Nismo Fairlady on youtube keeping up with some serious cars in his modified Nismo. I hear people talking about going 700-1000hp. If youre not drag racing at Santa Pod what is the benefit with all the undercover traffic cops and cameras around. A youtuber Dmo deejay has an E63s with 800+ hp and he regularly hits speeds of 140mph on the motorway. I never understood the obsession with power. Nowadays even the stock 17 GTR isn't considered quick enough anymore. 911 turbo s is fast. Sooner or later it will be considered average fast. I know turbo guys arent bothered about red lines and sound. Just the thrill of boosting and torque numbers. Each to their own I guess.

Ha, each to their own. Ill be popping and banging as I stop next door at the real Ace Cafe for a fill up. Incentives to buy diesel or hybrid petrol as I have. We all know the government scams to get people mobile again until the next revenue raising opportunity arises. It may not be 3D TV but a simple solution is to move to the countryside or badlands in order to keep your way of life. Its okay since I visit London once or twice a year its not the end of the world. Ill just borrow my moms Kia Niro or Brothers Model X. Could take a train at the risk of being tackled to the ground for not having a mask over my nose. A vegan E cafe library while you charge. Maybe they want an Utopia only fit for Hybrid personalities and forward thinkers. We as petrolheads will need to be outside city walls with the travellers and Nomads.

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/dec/07/uk-first-all-electric-car-charging-forecourt-opens-in-essex Great business plan. I hope the government will at least collect their VAT, corporate taxes and extras just as they do with Gasoline.

Will do, just a dream right now. Plus brand new looking like £45- £50,000. Thats why its worth waiting as long as it takes.

Id say goodluck in whatever you choose. Who do you think is paying for smooth quiet roads to enjoy 'EV' and the soft suspension....Thats when they decide to fix the roads EV drivers will soon become cash cows to equalize the losses in Road Tax. Imagine 50% drop in road tax due to huge uptake in ev...No longer cheap motoring... Introduction of per mile toll for all cars. Another stealth tax to recover the economy. Easiest way from government to make money is delay the ban on petrol and diesel by 5-10 years. EV will result in loss of VED revenue. Start taxing EVs id say. Force manufacturers to look at making Electric cars sub £30,000.

Hopefully by February March we will get specs and price. Enjoying the Nismo for another year. Other cars I can consider later down the line. Ill probably put on another 6,000 miles by November when the new Z is out. If There is a car in Japan for around £35000 and under it may be worth a look. Ill be saving up just incase one appears at a reasonable price 12 months after release. Since the Z may become a hybrid one day under a new platform. I think its the last opportunity to get a pure petrol Z

https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/industry-news/aston-martin-offer-combustion-engines-beyond-2030 Support Manufacturers offering alternatives. Tbh I think they will veer off into these synthetic fuels. Better than nothing

https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-news/tech/what-is-synthetic-fuel-efuel/ Alternative fuel is the answer. Choice is better for the environment. We need a balance. Companies like Shell and co should be pushing for this in the fight against what could essentially kill their business in Europe and America.

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/dec/02/aston-martin-pr-firm-anti-electric-vehicle-study Interesting. Aston Martin RIP 2030 unless Hybrid Petrol

while the govt should support businesses like these too....im only going to rate a company that looks into alternative fuel. Apparently a truck of hand sanitizers caught fire and exploded into a ball of strong Hollywood type flames in Cambridge. If that isnt proof there are possibilities I dont know what is. Alcohol, Spirits, Ethanol and Methanol are alternatives. Just getting them under control and the hardware to go with it.

i think they will be around £45,000 so not many. After a year they depreciate in japan knocking at least £10k off so we,ll see. The nismo does the job so no desperation or eagerness to get one. The current car is still unfamiliar to public anyway and nismo looks better

https://www.teslarati.com/porsche-taycan-hydrogen-synthetic-fuel-program/ Porsche guy is right.....why not fuel and Electric ie hybrid. Cleaner fuel.

And what happens to the mass job losses.....Since you only need one person in a control room pressing X and O buttons in the office? Dont say retrain in something else as most jobs will be automated thanks to advancement in technology. A lot of so called corporate IT networking jobs will be automated and simplified. Not to mention drivers More strain on the benefits systems from automation and mass job losses. Jobs going to China and India. Parking wardens, Street cleans all replaced by robots. Job losses equals increase on benefit claims, insurance claims, benefit and insurance fraud, increased crime, exodus of skilled labour to developing countries. People also not bothered to work due to further wage compression. Cheaper fares not really, increased dividend payouts from increased profits. No ones doing anyone favours. You may share a ride with 3 others in an autonomous vehicle. It will most likely be the same pricing or increased pricing due to government imposed taxes and newly introduced VED on Electric vehicles. The ultimate goal is to ban non commercial vehicles Electric and ICE from the city center and introduce congestion charges on all vehicles by 2030. That will be replicated across all city and town centers by 2030 onwards.

what you think of the interior of the zp...I think theyll keep it the same for the final version

EU, East Asia and America. Oh and any island trying to keep up. Rest of the world is not really interested. Water, Electric and all the stuff we take for granted are priority ofcourse. Then maybe.. While you're killing off motoring and depriving yourself of one of lifes freedoms other side dont care
