The R8 has not yet been tested, so could not be included. Value for money was weighed more heavily in the second half of the list. Marc has pointed out to me that this was discussed weeks ago, but I just got the magazine in the mail last week. He also pointed out that Eric is listed in the credits at the end of the article.
