You’re all crying over spilt milk.
The death of the modern hot hatch has been coming for a while now. Fossil fuel isn’t going to last forever and there are more important places for it to be used.
Yes it sucks that Swindon is going. And yes it’s sh!t people are losing their jobs. But companies saw this coming years ago. They knew that the future was green, and energy efficient cars were what was needed. But they refused to get on board, they kept pushing the gas guzzlers and the hot hatches hoping things would go their way, and guess what? They were wrong. Their hybrids are boring, their all electric cars are dire and overpriced. But they don’t care.
Do you all really think Honda actually cares that they’re closing a plant on the opposite side of the world? All it is to them is a money saving exercise. No petitions or sit ins in your car will change what’s going to happen.
I feel for the workers, I really do. But that’s about it. Honda don’t care. And the car manufacturers in general don’t care. Simple as that.
