also, how is audio only 8/10 if the stereo is "very close" to being the best on the market today?

It would also be nice to see totals for only performance metrics (acceleration, handling, braking, ride, gearbox -I think that's all of them) in the leaderboard. Hell double the numbers to get a different X/100 score.

Maybe there's a bunch of taxes that the British gov't piles on?

Are there incentives for the car companies to build more efficient cars (or conversely penalties if they don't)?

Interesting stuff.

I'd hit it over and over again. But then again I think we might be talking about different things.

If you don't have cup holders then where are you supposed to put your beer?
