One thing that I really do like about the British car industry is all the cottage builders like Noble, Marcos, etc... They are a plucky bunch to say the least and the Noble has evolved into something really impressive.

A few other points regarding the worlds great cars:

Corvette, great value for money but GM needs to sever all remaining pretense of this car's blue collar roots. GM already has the Camaro for the aspiring individual. The C8 should do the right thing and go mid engine like a real exotic, and be sold as a stand alone brand.

Ferrari 458 Italia-Sex on 4 wheels, so so so pretty it hurts to look at and it comes with the best sound effects ever, just hearing one run through the gears sends shivers down the spine.

Aston Martin DB9-Stick any dweeb in this and they become uber cool ,a tux should be included with every purchase. Still Britain's greatest export.

Porsche Panamara, Mercedes SL, Bugatti Veyron-The Germans can do some truly marvelous engineering, but they should really hire the Italians to style their cars, Ze Deutshe can't do pretty to save their lives. Do not speak of the 911, continuing to put out a car with same basic shape for 50 years does not count.

Nissan GTR-A lesson in how to flip the middle finger at the laws of physics. This car punches way above its weight class.

Mustang, Camaro, Dodge Challenger, Cadillac CTS-V series -What America does best-Big engines, loads of torgue, lots of tire smoke. That being said the CTS-V does hold the record for fastest 4 door around the 'ring

Lamborghani Aventador-Satan is on the wating list for a black one, no car would be more suited for the Prince of Darkness to make his entrance.

Fisker Kharma, Chevy Volt, Tesla-Expensive Tax Payer funded science projects, that will all be a dead end in automotive development.

Honda Clarity-The science project that actually gets it right, its just the matter of getting the price down. The Clarity will be the future for most Americans in a couple of generations, long live Hydrogen.
