And, in the context of a car brand once again, the Economist ran an article on Japanese bathrooms on July 25 (Face value: Flush with ambition | The Economist), stating that they are the “Lamborghini of lavatories” and the “Cadillac of commodes”. Subsequent weekly issues have included other alliterations until finally in this week's issue (http://www.economist.com/opinion/dis...id=14302096)we got our favorite in:
SIR – In keeping with the high spirits of recent letter-writers who embraced your enjoining car superlatives with commodes (Letters, August 15th and 22nd), one might add the “Lotus of latrines” to your list. --William Stepp, New York

For what its worth. . .the Evora of Evacuations.
