you guys should check out the Leyland P-76... which became known as the
P-38....half the car it was meant to be.. A harsh call in my opinion.. it was
about a decade ahead of it's time.

That ain't satire. That is arrogant prattle. Satire does not use witty sarcasm
to discredit and ridicule progress, but rather to establish contempt for what
the *writer* believes to be absurd or inane.
