Famous car brands feature (negatively!). A very creative response to the relentless occupation of our streets by vehicles that shouldn't be here.
Music and art turned against the relentless trend (in Edinburgh) to facilitate driving in city is beautiful to see. Hopefully Scott Arthur will share this!Posted 2 years ago # -
Meanwhile Ford are discontinuing the popular and economical small* car, the Fiesta, claiming that "drivers opt for SUVs"
The reality of course is that manufacturers have aggressively pushed and marketed SUVs as they are more profitable. They are spending up to £2000 of the vehicle ticket price on advertising to actually sell that highly polluting and dangerous vehicle to unsuspecting buyers
*The Fiesta is now as large the original Focus and as large as a Ford Granada, so hardly a small car anymore

When car manufacturers blame consumer demand for the wholesale switch to SUVs, they forget to mention how hard they have worked to create this demand.
The Ford Fiesta is the *most popular car ever*, but less profitable per unit than SUVs. So discontinuedPosted 2 years ago #
