well yeah, wasn't really commenting on the car itself, just more the acknowledgement of the G40's existence.

Ha! I used to house-share with the guy who wrote this, gave him a few supercharged lifts to work in mine. Fellow motoring journo, Cardiff graduate and ex employee of Bauer Media, now working at Top Gear.

Tell him his grasp of the English language is poor to say it's his livelihood.

I would also disagree that they attracted a youthful first time buyer, they were expensive for what they offered compared to rivals, and similar to today, the demographic for a Cliosport is vastly different to a Polo GTi.
