You haven't even mentioned Triumph!

That's Jeremy Clarkson. I'm sure he has his own biases but I doubt anyone will ever accuse him of defending British cars, most of which had trouble making it across a parking lot without needing a major overhaul.

 Didn't want to pick on our U.K. contingent too much, it's just after the 4th of July......   ;)

Leyland P76    The best of British, say no more ???


Didn't Leyland own Triumph when they built that most amazing of all cars, the Triumph TR7?

I could be wrong here, but IIRC Triumph cars and motorcycles became two different companies before WWII.

I'll take a Ford Cortina any time. I love those cars. As for the Prius, I think that was the best use of one I've ever seen!
