You are, of course, at liberty to disagree with the journalists' conclusions.

Weirdly, I found the article only hours after telling someone I'd be quite happy to have a Manta again.

What I'm staggered about, is the criticism of the 1st Gen Prelude in there - calling it "over ornate styling"? WTF?
Maybe it's just aged really well, but... the 1st gen is a very simply styled car???
