I think the british cars, for the first time in a while, have engineering and build quality that is on par with the germans. The english cars have always had soul, elegance, class, and personality on the germans. If only they would stop trying so hard to be "different" and do it a way no one else does, and just focus and bringing performance more into line, they could have something amazing.

Then again, i think if ford beefed up Jaguar and Aston's budget, and the two marques co-developed technology (as well as having access to financial assets allocated to land rover, of whom Jaguar will soon be providing a lot of driveline parts), they could be close to impossible to compete with.
