EU far more dependent on UK sales than vice versa.
No wonder German manufacturers are concerned on top of their dieselgate nightmare.

Gel, just read your comment on “The German’s”. You are absolutely correct on your comment regarding the German Car Industry in some respects. Yes “Dieselgate” has upset everybody and screwed up everywhere but the Car Production Figures has to taken into account. As the UK only produces 30% (1,7Mio) of what the Germans do (5,1Mio) I suppose they have to get rid of them somewhere and it appears a lot of car buyers in the UK do not all buy QQ’s (Figs 2017 based) 
Here are a few more facts which might be of interest :
