I was thinking about the forthcoming Focus RS and how it is a potential candidate for a 5 Star road test rating. I then tried to think of other cars that have received top marks and why you don't see more of them. For example, when was the last time any of you saw the latest Megane RenaultSport? I think I've probably seen one or two at most. Leaving aside really extreme cars can anyone think of a 5 Star car that is rarer than the Megane and perhaps explain the reason for it?

Citroen C6 springs to mind, every review I've read about them is very positive, yet, they didn't sell many.

Must be the assumption that big & comfy + French = recipe for disaster.

The Lotus Evora?

I seem to remember that it won some fairly major awards and I've only ever seen about five of them.
