As is your comment that the 75 is mediocre when there is a mass of evidence in the form of awards won, and glowing professional reviews, to thoroughly contradict your claim. The motoring press are not backward in criticising cars when they are deserving of criticism. Why do you think that virtually all the reviews are so positive? -- Kev

No, they aren't. There's really good cars in damn near every market segment, just as there's thorough mediocrity in every market segment. Always has been, always will be.

I would class 'my' car as mediocre, but having said that, I personally like it, compared to other mediocre cars. Bod |
