Would sales rise if manufacturers started selling small cars again? - Yorkshire Post Letters

As we have seen British and European car manufacturers transform themselves into manufacturers of larger electric vehicles, sales have declined for the most successful manufacturers by at least 16 per cent.

This is causing manufacturers to close car factories right across Europe. Often the smaller model cars are those which are being discontinued. A massive 100 per cent increase in prices has resulted for the consumer who wants a new car.

As the manufacture of so many popular small model cars are being discontinued and new cars increase in price by 100 per cent, it is remarkable that the decline in sales has only been 16 per cent for some.

If they sold us small cars again, would sales rise again? I know of no other sector of business which would only suffer a 16 per cent decrease in sales after increasing their prices by 100 per cent.
