Oh look Marge! A poor , sad, left wing leftie who has 'hello darkness my old friend' on repeat. You lost, GET OVER IT.
Lefties tend to not to be right wing. Who would have thought there was a correlation between socio-educational background and propensity to vote leave ? ;-)Still, this is also superb binary thinking : you could only be left wing to have voted remain.

Haha you poor misinformed soul. It's those with a lower standard of education, with fewer opportunities, who suffer the most in any downturn. The smarter folk always have options, and are smart enough to recognise them, anyway.
But you will get over it. In around 8-10 years when hopefully the situation will stabilise fully, during which time you will be blaming Labour, Tories, Lib Dems, "multinationals", Microsoft, Monsanto, Google and Facebook for your woes, but never the choice you made on the 23rd. After all, you will no longer be able to blame "Brussels".

Cars like the mk4, mk5 golf r32 is what I love and it would be great if similar hot hatches and saloons in a modern form with more power and more fuel efficient could be built!
Why would the manufacturers still at the centre of the EU spend a boat load of money developing engines for a single market that isn't the USA? Or at a stretch, Japan? One where a large slug of purchases are dictated by company car policies tied to list price and emissions.

t money!Not going to happen, even as a vanity project, for anyone outside of the likes of Ferrari or Lamborghini. That might make me sad, but it is our world.

I don't think every leaver is a thick nutter. But I know every thick nutter was a leaver. And in any situation it is these people who suffer most so I am unsure how they think their lives will be better.
Cue a load of abuse about being intellectual, leftie, a bad loser, patronising etc is the go to labels of the sub educated
Seriously though, the sad thing is that some leavers voted as they did for stuff like this.
Maybe they think that mythical £350m would be used to get what they want ?
Ford in the US sell one car with a V8, which is the Mustang. Its also available with a 2 litre four pot.
They'll happily sell you a 1 litre fiesta instead, or a fully electric focus or hybrid Fusion (Mondeo) / C-Max.
Whilst I'd agree its the most likely place to find big N/A engines times are changing, V8s are increasingly rare even on their roads.

And where were those same people at the General Election? Were they campaigning on issues such as higher car emissions? No, they most likely failed to even vote. And when they now finally found an issue they cared enough to vote on, they failed to understand they question being put to them. How thoroughly depressing.
The EU never imposed strict exhaust emissions on the UK. The UK wanted these regulations. If you didn't agree with it your time to vote was the General Election.

It might also be worth reminding people that the European type-approval regs aren't actually EU. They're UNECE - United Nations Economic Commission for Europe.And, no matter what Fox News thinks, the UK hasn't and isn't leaving the UN.
The UNECE standards are rapidly becoming the default global standard - the only real alternatives are the Far Eastern (Japanese-driven) and North American (US-driven) standards.
Sure, the EU then picked where and how to follow those standards, and the UK will get to do that independently if/when Article 50 ever gets invoked and the UK actually leaves the EU (at least two years from when Cameron's successor invokes Article 50). Until then...? We're still in the EU.

Please keep contributing to the forum in such hillarious ways.
Speaking for the Kraut part of your post, the UK has never been a core market for German manufacturers and outside the ghastly evil EU will be even less so. The way I see it there is a chance that England, once Scotland and NI leave you, becomes about as relevant a car market as Australia - maybe already is?
You already have a chav spec S3 in which you put so much money so why drool about a V8 UK-exclusive S3 in super-chav spec that will never happen anyway?
If you want to secure yourself something in the likes of the above cars, use the economic downturn the UK will go through in the next years to get a cheap used one.
Greetings from the EU, ghastliest place on Earth, just having beaten North Korea to it

Why would German car manufacturers produce special engines for the UK? Right now they fking hate Britain and that's without mentioning the contempt they have for Sterling.
Come on, we don't hate you guys. king hate Britain and that's without mentioning the contempt they have for Sterling. 
Why would a company dependent on their customers for sales revenue ever hate them?

I agree. Found this quote a while back:A functioning, robust democracy requires a healthy educated, participatory followership, and an educated, morally grounded leadership.
(Chinua Achebe)
Pretty sure we didn't have the former and not entirely convinced we had the latter either.

"Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time".... But one does wonder at times,

Haha you poor misinformed soul. There are already plenty of cars we don't get in the UK because, for example, it isn't economically viable to develop them in right hand drive format. Manufacturers aren't going to start building petrol guzzling, polar bear killing V10s just for the patriotic Brexit voters in the UK. The USA might have its own cars but it's a much bigger market than the UK is.
