I could, and often do, but this troll is beyond reasonable argument. He deserves all the ridicule he receives. He's single-handedly attempting to disrupt any vestige of sensible debate. He's even adopted joe's catchphrase.
Hello, mitch. Can you see any purpose to this question?
Or is it an irrelevant diversion thrown in by a numbskull with no rational argument?

UK car registrations increased again in 2015 and the majority were imported from the EU. I am confident any trade deal post Brexit will not be an issue as the EU would not wish to put their jobs at risk.

I don't believe that anyone has said "there will not be a trade deal"
However, when the EU is negotiating on behalf of 27 countries, some of whom have negligible exports to UK, and some send about 10% of their total exports here, they will be less desperate than the UK, which sends more than half its exports to rEU.
The rEU would naturally be negotiating to obtain the best terms for its 27 members, and will prioritise negotiations with its largest and most profitable trading partners, of which the UK is not one.
Taking Renault as an example, I doubt more than one of the members of the rEU would be greatly concerned about a small dip in its small exports to a small market. But we haven't heard any sensible reason why the Renault case was raised.
The UK would be powerless to push for liberalisation of EU services markets; it would find that in some sectors, inward investors would switch their money to countries inside the EU; and it would find it very difficult to negotiate trade agreements with non-EU countries as comprehensive as those that the EU regularly agrees.

EU total exports to UK are less than 10% of all EU exports. That's less than 0.4% of each member nations' GDP.
UK total exports to EU are nearly 50% of all UK exports. That's nearly 50% of our GDP.
We have a lot to lose, and they have a little.

Interesting data in that link, Doug.
Germany, France, Spain and Italy alone buy about 7,000,000 cars compared to our 2,600,000.
Of those 2 600,000 that are bought in UK, out of the top ten, only Golf at 73,000, Polo at 55,000 and A3 at 47,500 are cars made in EU
So of the 2,600,000 new cars registered only 175,500 are from EU.
Less than 7% of new registrations in UK are EU made cars.
It's looking worse and worse for the chances of a trade deal in the event of Brexit.

Ah, indeed you would.......Live long and prosper.
Is there any purpose to this question?

There was a purpose to the question but you and your buddy spent so long in deciding as to whether to answer it or not that the moment has passed.. It is very rare that you answer my questions, preferring to be rude and to call folk names... You are indeed a very bitter and unhappy man
You need to read the forum rules you silly old sod.
I suspect however the EU workers whose livelihoods rely on the selling of those 175,000 cars to the UK, would have something to say if the EU bureaucrats decided to halt their production lines whilst protracted 'trade negotiations' were held.
