No defenately not.
Although I'm not sure how they form the range of cars monitored (but I bet it's got
something to do with sales figures), the range went from Subaru Mini Jumbo's up to
BMW 3-series. It didn't include exotics like Mercs 600's or Land Rover Disco's,
you're right there.
It's actually a vewy vewy bowing test, cos the only thing tested is reliability,
rust resistance, those kind of things, not driver appeal (that would have given a
different score !).
But never the less, the 106 made the top 10 as sole European.
