Koenigsegg has no brand, no heritage and false claims yet wants to be compared with high priced cars like Ferrari etc to make $$$-I hate deception - But well done Ford anyway!

I find it strange that you consider Koenigsegg a tuner just because they don't sell that many cars. In my world (and I believe many others' too) a tuner is someone who modifies an existing production car, often produced by another company.
The Koenigsegg is constructed from the ground up by Koenigsegg, apart from the engine as I understand it. The fact that they only have sold around 20 cars doesn't make it a less unique construction.
You are right in that Koenigsegg don't yet have the heritage and brand of Ferarri or Lambo. The Top Gear guys also noted this in their (beautiful!) test drive of this car rougly a year (?) ago, but they still liked it alot.
By the way, how did you manage to get a test drive of the Koenigsegg? As you said, there isn't exactly one parked on every street corner.
