due to CO2 and the lack of a hybrid system to install in it, might change in a few years time

Thanks.

I wonder if its due to the UK post Brexit being responsible for its total CO2 emissions from vehicles sold here rather than before Brexit when we were part of the EU total so there was a larger range of variance for the uk as part of the whole? Post Brexit it probably means we cant consume as many Co2 burners over the required average (I recall that average seemed small at under 100wotsits) so manufacturers will be probably be looking to limit the import of the heavy hitters that aren't offsetting their numbers with suitable revenue returns?

Perhaps we'll have more grey market businesses as a result of this?

My wife looked at buying a Jimny 3 years ago. Besides being small inside, its a 20 year old design with 20 year old emissions/safety etc.

I recall the auto gearbox being a manual, with hydraulic powered gearchanges and clutch. It almost worked, but the gear lever had no Park position.

A shame they didn't update it as the small Suzuki 4x4s had built up a good reputation.
