Manuals have gone the way of the dodo

More’s the pity.

 

[Gough]

More’s the pity.

I used to have a manual Mini and there was nothing more fun than changing up to third while gunning it round a corner.

Can people stop spending money on crap they don't need? Do us all a favour and help inflation come down.

like refurbishing the RBA hq?

Our economy needs to function

Clearly productivity isn’t an issue and if wages can continue to rise faster than inflation then the need for interest rate cuts lessons.
4.35% is hardly high …

The most important thing to do is reduce inflation whilst not costing jobs!!!!
Low unemployment will boost wages… something corporations hate.

There aren't many actual "cheap" cars left.
You can get some tiny thing for around $20-25 .
They prefer to jack them up a bit higher and call them an SUV, and throw 5-10K onto the price.
( Mazda 2 vs Mazda CX3 the most blatant example ).

Sorry, Mazda cutting base model/lower option models and price shifting the Mazda 2/CX3 resulting in no cars in the sub-30K market in Australia

Mazda on verge of exiting sub-$30,000 new-car market after more than 60 years

The axing of Mazda's cheapest model grades are nearing its exit from the sub-$30,000 drive-away market.

It’s funny that one of the criticisms of EVs is that they depreciate so quickly?? I’m always asking where are all these cheap EVs are?

Norway are trailing charging lanes for busses using induction charging.

Its a bit of a waste of energy. Induction charging is nowhere near as efficient as wire charging.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

$32 000 for a Yaris is just appalling. People didn't realize how much Ford and Holden were keeping a lid on the car pricing here.

Well Norway is lucky it’s basically 100% renewables already.. so the waste is probably off set in other cost savings like wages and downtime.
They’ve got Ferries recharging in 6-7 minutes so they aren’t afraid of investing in that sought of infrastructure.

Kia Picanto is $10k cheaper

Toyota and Mazda are positioning themselves as luxury brands

It’s great seeing the wineries putting in more vines after being destroyed by the LNP.

Who's putting in more vines?

 

[nut]

Who's putting in more vines?

After scomo ruined the industry millions of vines were bulldozed. That trend has stopped with china now importing again.

So nobody's planting more vines then. Ok.

Would you like photos of new vines around Rutherglen?

Do they exist?

I'd love for there to be a resurgence of vineyard development in this country, I just don't think it's realistic the way the wine market is.

Well it’s better than bulldozing them.

I think you can fit a Picanto in your back pocket.

More seriously, I do know someone who bought her kids Picanto's , and she feels they are just a bit too small.
My daughter bought a Hyundai Accent in 2017, its worth more now than what she paid for it i think.

They're in the same category
Yaris is slightly larger but massively over priced
I'm not saying the picanto is good or that new cars are really the cheap option

Just that prices vary quite a bit between brands
