Skoda also have a highly distinguished career in rallying. The skodas of the seventies had the engine at the back, many of these rally skodas were regularly beating porsche 911's in rallying and hill sprints!

154: Fiat Stilo
155: Mercedes M-Class

yea, they don't have all of them online. If you want to see the full result list, you have to buy TopGear Magazine.Lots of Airport Shops have them, and It is sold at some magazine stores, etc. It is a really good magazine though. I bought some past issues every time I went to the airport.I don't live in Britain, but I love the magazine and the show.

Here is the Top Gear Magazine Website:

My apologies-I only looked quickly and assumed the cheap bastards would include the whole survey[:I]

4: Skoda Superb

That’s a really dumb name. One advantage of owning an MB is one is not stuck with a silly name.

M-Class is no. 155 out of 159. yikes.
…but your M is not European.

…the very same tanks that were appropriated by the Wehrmacht in 1938 after ‘liberating’ the Sudetenland and used to invade Poland touching of World War II.

RE: BBC Top Gear Survey 2005 Top 10/159

the tv programme itself cannot give the full survey results as it has a commercial conflict (the BBC is publically funded).

The full results are sitting on a sister site:

http://www.topgear.com/content/features/stories/2005/11/stories/01/1.html

All the Mercs are pretty low down...
