Thanks 'VijayA', I had not seen that program before. And I agree about the deplorable waste. Was a nice looking LS400 before it's destruction.
However, from a thrillseeker's point of view, I thought the description fair. Boring yet utterly reliable, quieter than an already quiet Rolls Roice, etc - all 'music to my ears'!
As to the winning Mercedes, well, I was very disappointed. I think none of those cars in the program get even close to providing the excitement and breathtaking drive of the Atom!
