Wider car industry news

[Carpocalypse]

I'm not sure if this is something I can create, but I thought I would create a thread for events that may affect the car industry as a whole. I saw this article this morning:

Europe just moved closer to getting its own tiny, affordable 'kei cars' | Autocar

European Union president vows to support industry through new ‘E-car’ category as Chinese threat looms

If it comes to fruition, we may see kei-spec cars in the EU.

They would make a lot of sense in the EU, especially in dense old downtowns. Kinda weird that Europe never adopted it altogether but these days even the smallest "normal" car is actually pretty large. Japan's rules could easily work inside the biggest cities in Europe.

They made sense since they were first developed.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: If I had universal and plenary powers, I would decree everyone shall drive Kei cars and like it.
