What do they smoke...

in the Auto Express office.

Just opened my copy and looked at the Top 50 cars from the last 25 years

Number 1 is the Ford Focus MK1

Number 2 is the Lancia Delta Integrale Evo

beggars belief

the Delta would obviously wipe the floor with the Focus and indeed most other hatches

[grumbledoak]

How many of each were sold, again?

What were the criteria?

[kambites]

I can certainly see why the Focus is number one. It's certainly one of the most influential cars of the last couple of decades.

I'm a bit dubious of the Lancia being on the list at all though, let alone at number-2.

That's the rather key bit. Although I can think of no circumstances that would place a Focus and Integrale next to each other on the same list.

Cars that were used in rallying??

Yes. I really was a subscriber to probably the worst car mag ever! But no more.

The Focus was never used for rallying in the same way. It was a WRC car which meant it had to have little relation to the show room version and not actually be a production car. The Integral was a Group A car.

The only reason I can see for the Lancia being on the list is as the progenitor of subsequent generations of fast four wheel drive rally reps - but then surely the Audi Quattro got there first?
