Cheaper for the industry to manufacture, certainly. Cheaper for the consumer to purchase, I have my suspicions.
I would love to see a return to smaller cars - sedans even - but the shareholders might not like lower profits per unit, so I'm not sure we're going to see prices plateau let alone decline.
I suppose there is something to be said for solitary moments. The clandestine excitement is funny.
It brings to mind Daniel Craig in a DB5, nonchalantly scrolling the web, catching a peripheral glimpse of a uniform and peeling out down a staircase.
Call me dull but unless spaces are egregiously hard to come by, I'd pay ~£2 to not babysit a car looking over my shoulder and instead have a few extra minutes with my better half.
I wish I could share in your optimism.
