I hereby intend to prove, by an arbitrary but, I believe, definitive process of elimination, that the Audi A6 Avant 3.0 diesel is the best car in the world.
Let's start with the obvious candidates: Ferraris, Astons and the like. To be the best a car must have an appeal beyond hairy, middle-aged men in Tod's loafers and garish silk shirts. No, the world's best car needs to be both an ornament and of use, and a Lamborghini Murcielago is useful only as a means of tempting heavily tanned, tottering-heeled scrubbers from the bar at the Hotel Byblos, St Tropez.
We can cast aside Rolls-Royces, Maybachs and Bentleys on similar grounds. Driving a car that makes people spit on you the moment they get a clear shot has limited appeal. Plus they use petrol at a rate that even Dick Cheney would find irresponsible.
