So numbers are down. The SUV segment was the only one to see any growth, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) telling us a fifth of all new car registrations last month were for these so-called dual purpose cars". Diesel sales are down. Massively. Petrol and alternatively fuelled vehicles" are up. A bit.
