I meant in general....

The coronavirus pandemic pushed UK car sales in 2020 down to the lowest level since 1992, the biggest annual slump since the second world war despite surging sales of electric cars, according to industry data.

Sales fell by 29% during the year to about 1.63m, preliminary figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) showed.

The main cause of the decline was the first lockdown imposed in March, the crucial month when sales are usually helped by a change in number plates. Car showrooms in England were closed from late March until June, forcing companies to quickly move to online sales and bring in social distancing in factories.

I wonder what 2021 will bring

[Guzzle]

Factories and dealerships were closed in lockdown 1. In lockdowns 2 & 3 factories are open, and dealerships are trading (albeit remotely). Therefore i'd expect 2021 to be significantly better than 2020 for the motor industry, unless covid takes a really bad and unexpected turn for the worse. 🤷‍♂️

I feel Volkswagen Ireland will struggle to sell many. VRT to blame. GTD still 3k more than a GTI which has always been the case for some reason?
