Jonathan Bryce Q&A
What was your biggest news story?
I covered the launch of a concept electric sports car from a British firm called Nyobolt, which turned out to be a hit among readers, especially Lotus fans because it was based on an Elise. In my short time at the magazine, however, I’m still yet to find groundbreaking words that unwittingly slip out of an executive’s mouth.
What’s the best car you’ve ever driven?
I’ve been fortunate enough to have a go in cars worth more than my left lung, but I owned a Volkswagen Up GTI for what turned out to be the best year of my motoring life. It was slow, snub-nosed and stupid - but so was the family’s ageing bearded collie. And how can I not love him?
What will the car industry look like in 20 years?
Electric cars will get better and better. Although they may only make artificial noise, engineers will find other ways of exploiting character from the car. Whether that’s by way of a short-action manual gearbox or an interchangeable dashboard, EVs are here to stay. Before they’re replaced by hydrogen 20 years after that.
