Having spent too long reading about vans (for camper reasons), it's notable that the new Jaguar Type 01, noted for being very large, is basically the same size as a short wheel base Mercedes Sprinter. Like the vans that Amazon deliver stuff in (obviously less high) #carbloat #autobesity

On the rear window thing, it's not necessarily as big a problem as it first seems (he says having been on several family holidays where the car is full to the roof...)

But something that is too big to fit in a normal parking space at time when there's a gradual realisation about #CarBloat...

Ah, but from JLR's own press release "Buyers are likely to be rich, “urban” and “very design literate, very technology literate”, Glover said."

It’s too big to fit in parking spaces.

It's time we had #CongestionCharging with a massive uplift for private cars over a certain size. #CarBloat

Buyers are likely to be rich, “urban” and “very design literate, very technology literate”, Glover said.

A car too big to fit in spaces probably shouldn’t be in urban areas #CarBloat

Jetzt wird's hier aber eng, nicht nur für Täter. Auch in #Lüneburg macht die Polizei mit beim #CarBloat Trend (https://www.presseportal.de/blaulicht/pm/59488/6354535 ).
