Used to enjoy LJKs stuff, but its always worth taking with a pinch of salt. Consider - does a pinnacle of automotive engineering automatically make it a great car? LJK always seemed to think so, his love of Honda and Citroen was virtually unconditional, despite their often glaringly obvious flaws. Is a car that eats its tyres within 3k miles really the worlds greatest luxury car? That seems like a pretty big usability flaw to me.
Maybe not everyone drives their car as hard as you Damian 8)

LJKS is certainly opinionated, which is probably a good thing anyway!
Always worth a read, because he hails from a time when to know things or to be able to express them was not considered somehow infradig.
Trouble is, I find myself agreeing with him a lot of the time!

“I find myself irresistibly attracted to cars that nobody else buys. The NSX is a classic of the genre because nobody buys it and yet it’s a fantastic car. It’s got a wonderful compactness and simplicity and unpretentiousness to it. Honda rudely continues to make them whether we like it or not, even though there can be no commercial logic in doing so — I thoroughly admire that.” Rowan Atkinson
