Next, bad cars. We used to rely on Wartburgs and Polski-Fiats, but
now we have the Audi A2, a car that's too tall, has narrow windows and
shakes when you switch on the wipers. Then there's the Ford Fusion,
based on a Fiesta, but you pay that bit more to sit a bit higher. We
could go on, but there's no need - Richard has. He drove the new Lexus
SC430 and didn't much like the styling. In fact, he was so unimpressed
with the coupé that he'd rather drive Hyundai's new contender.
We decided to find out which country makes the fastest supercar. We
should point out, though, that Britain's entry was our very own XJS. But
it did have a trick up its sleeve which led it to beat a Ferrari.
Namely nitrous oxide, which we'll admit is a bit of a cheat on our part.
Now, what happens when you slot an American '70s cop show hero into
our Liana? He breaks it, that's what. And would you believe he could do
it twice? Well, he did. David Soul was our star in a reasonably priced
car, and he owes us two Lianas.
