Greatness is such a subjective thing, isn't it. So your choice is as good as mine. So please take some time out to vote for the greatest automotive nation in your book and state why.
I have included...
UK: This is my choice. More I read about great cars more I am inclined to believe that Brits are the best in building cars. Be it the Mclaren F1, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Lotus, Caterham, Aston Martin they all are very British and have some mystique greatness. Most other car makers in the world borrow expertise from british, sometimes eventhough the nameplate might read non-british the technology and philosophy really come from Britain. I recently even read that although Audi is renowned for 4WD quattro, the first 4WD cars were from Britain. But like all British car makers thay had not made profits and been forced to shut down. I don't think greateness has to be associated with "profits" so I vote Brit
Germany: Need I say more... Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, VW ... (Or eventhough Bugatti is really a French nameplate, I consider Veyron German more than any other)
Italy: Characterrised by the ever so raging and fierce battle between Farrari and Lambo.
Japan: They certainly make things perfect.
USA: I remain silent and let you decide.
France: Oh! they made the Bugatti Royale and they own the nameplate.
Sri Lanka: At the end of the day, we make the most out of the least . And how can I not give any choice for the Patriotic membership of our forum.
I hope I have not missed any other serious contender for this title. (PLZZZZ not India Ok!)
So I'm kinda eyeing on Ford Focus ST 2013-2015 YOM car with a manual tranny. What do you think about the choice? any specifics I should consider before purchase?
The EP71 keeps ticking along - great grocery getter/lane zipper but unsurprisingly a bit uncomfortable on long trips - few people asking if I'm selling it as well. In a quandary as to let it go or not and what will be the replacement for a beater?

Just voted for Japan. They helped automobile technology grow as a mass industry.

The Japs have made some great cars yes,but they have a long way to go to catch up with the Italians,Brits,Germans or even the Americans.And how can anyone say the yanks are not passionate about cars?I
