I would like to see a Part-2 which focuses on the car's performance, and
where most of them have went, and about the prototypes, etc... :) But
overall I really enjoyed the show, just wasn't long enough... :)

Totally agree. The crash test they showed made it look like a car that
would kill you in a collision!

I was also disturbed by those comments, which probably made him look bad
more than anything else. But then at the end of the episode, they said it
took him 30 yrs to perfect the Bricklin... so how did he expect the workers
to do much better?? :P
