And all of us is being affected as well. But i have found an astonishing deal. A Car Dealership (who is in autotraders car news section, click on the one with the following name 'new cars as cheap as chips') has an offer on which states, if you buy a brand new mazda CX-7 (which costs £24,500) you will get a brand new Mazda2 FREE, YES FREE! So what i would do is if you don't want an off-roader, get a loan for about £24,500 buy it so you get the mazda2 free with the CX-7, then sell the CX-7 off-roader for, if you can, more than you brought if for and keep the small Mazda2. then you've actually GAINED money, yet you've still got a brand new small, cheap to run, cheap to insure yet practical car P.S. The Mazda2 is basically the same car as the new ford fiesta, thats a good thing) Lets face it, the credit crunch and global warming is affecting ALL car companies, thats why they’re making hydrogen powered concept cars and a lot of small cars, for example.

Toyota for example, or Hyundai-Kia, possibly even VAG (though quite frankly who knows what they're up to with Porsche taking over...)

Cadillac's most likely to hold on to a decent share of the market for as long as americans keep being tossed with sand in their eyes. And I'm glad the LA show will most likely feature present VW diesel models: that way americans will know what a diesel car is, and that maybe the 4 liter V8 caddilac is somewhat too much in their garage.

Sure, they all offer cars in the major segments, but none of the average ones are any good. They have bland or ugly styling, a reputation for nebulous reliability and poor quality interiors all at a price equal to their competitors from Japan. Considering the repair costs involved when a new car goes wrong it is no surprise that the Camry outsells the Taurus. Plus, there is a lack of a good entry level model from any of them. The halfhearted Chevy Cobalt is a dud. it looks like a facelifted mid 90's Cavalier. Who takes the time to design a completely new car and change the name because the car it replaces was such a horror then makes it look almost identical to the old model? The new US spec Focus is also ugly, and Chrysler doesn't even bother to make a subcompact car anymore. They left themselves wide open for this by failing to have product lines that were universally good cars. Honda succeeds because they don't build any car that is crap. GM should take note.

What's the point in going just to see some VW diesels? As for Renault, everyone will probably be looking for hatch-backs or saloons, rather than the big MPV's. The majority of people have no more than 3 kids anyway, unless you are a council estate baby making chav machine. And there are lots of those. But they won't be able to afford brand new Espaces on their benefits allowance. They might as well cancel the LA show. What’s the point in going just to see some VW diesels?
