How can we expect car critics to be any different even

a couple of firsts (front disc brakes on a production car,
the wedge shape on
an affordable sports car 'if you exclude high priced exotic
sports cars').
<==I've read that stuff somewhere (VTR, posts, ect.)
At least three other firsts spring to mind - by dredging the
memory banks I might come up with more.
First British manufacturer to standardise fuel injection on
two individual models - 2.5PI saloon and TR5 in 1967
First British manufacturer to offer independent suspension
on all four wheels across the whole product range by the
mid-1960's
First British manufacturer (possibly first in the world?) to
mass produce a 16 valve engine - Dolomite Sprint
