Which country makes the best cars?

The very first thing I must mention is that the title isn't very accurate. This is because obviously it depends what you mean by best. For solid engineering the Germans obviously win hands down. Style and aesthetics? Italian cars are the best by far. Cheap but fizzy hatchbacks? France, in my opinion. Reliability? The japenese have always been good at that. Lots of power for not much money? America will be your first point of call. Cool but subtle luxury? Most people view Britain as the place for that.

This is what most people will hold as the fundamental beliefs about a countries car making abilities. However, it is definitely worth mentioning the obvious exceptions to this, which shows that a country can be good at more than just one aspect of the automotive spectrum. The American cars of old we're very good at the luxury thing, Britain used to be good at fizzy sports cars to. Actual car exceptions include the Poesche 911, more fun than solid. But, in general, the old stereotypes remain. An American car will always be scoffed at for being cheap, a Japenese car for being boring, likewise a German car, and Italian super cars will always be classed as unreliable. But, by playing their strengths, it has ensured that the automotive spectrum is incredibly diverse and exciting, no matter where you come from
