Sarcasm is difficult to convey in a written medium, unless one has the skills of a Mark Twain or similar.

I must admit that I did not take this statement:

"CR is written by Communists who feel items such as xenon headlamps and adjustable suspensions are elitist, and that everyone would be better off driving a plebian Toyota Camry. Active safety and striking design are less important than the adjustability of the rear centre head restraint and ease of fitting a child seat"

as being sarcastic, and therefore meaning that the writer thought CR's opinions and reports were, in real life, actually accurate and excellent.

I have to admit that that particular sarcasm went right over my feeble-minded head.

My mistake, apparently.
