this review's a bit of a funny one, we have a magazine here down under and they do two kinds of tests.

BFYB - bang for your buck where performance is measure against cost
PCOTY - Best performance car with no consideration for cost

Seems as though they were ignoring the cost here which can be valid i guess. What is not valid is to rate a car better for styling when they seem to be measuring performance... No one can rate styling except for ssangyong who make the fugliest cars ever closely followed by subaru.

Why would they ignore the price difference and then start looking at styling... these people are stupid...
