I wasn't referring to this test in particular, as they do explain it in the article. I'm speaking in general...they always test the top of the heap from an automaker against the lower end of the power spectrum Lotus. For example, test a base Corvettte vs. an N/A Elise vs. a base Mustang (I'm certain the price points are all very close) and see who shines.
