We who drive an Amazon know how good they are. It is however nice to hear others say it too. I just obtained a copy of the Dec '96 issue of "Classic Cars" (a UK publication). The article in question is titled "A Question of Sport" and begins on page 97. They took five sport sedans of the late 60s and did a comparative test using the owners of the five cars. The cars were:

- Alfa Romeo 1750 Berlina
- BMW 2000tilux
- Rover 2000TC
- Triumph 2.5PI
- Volvo 123GT

....and the owners' choice was:

1st Place Volvo 123GT
2nd Place Alfa
3rd Place Triumph
4th Place Rover
5th Place BMW

The Amazon scored 1st in the following categories:

Character
Ride/Handling
Practicality
Controls
Drivability

In Performance it tied for 2nd.....the Alfa scored 1st in this category.
