Who makes the world's best cars?
The contenders:
The United States: If nothing else, the US makes cars in great volume, famous for our oversize engines, large cars, and rough edged performance, america is all about the size and bang for the buck. Highlights include cars like Viper, Vette, Mustang Cobra, Saleen S7.
The United Kingdom: Famous for luxury, style, and class, british cars are known for their rich connolly leather interiors, trimmed in the finest woods, and using nothing but top shelf materials. British cars have leather gloved performance, and feature engineering that is often counter-intuitive but very effective. Of late the british manufacturers find themselves answering to German and American automotive giants. Highlights include Lotus Esprit and Elise, Jaguar XK and XJ models, and anything TVR, Rolls Royce or Bentley, as well as the Legendary McLaren F1.
Sweden: The Swedes have a passion for doing things their own way. Safety is always a priority, and the engineering is always first class in ingenuity and uniqueness. The swedes are famed for pioneering turbochargers, seatbelts, and front wheel drive. While their big 2 automakers have been bought out by the US, thier cars still hold true to swedish theory of automaking. Swedish cars own the realm of ergonomics and safety, and are trying hard to get performance too, highlights include the Koenigsegg CCV8S, Volvo S60R, and Saab 9-5 Aero.
Germany: The germans built the most efficiently engineered performance cars around. Luxury, efficiency, engineering prowess, performance and refinement all colide in german cars. Between their big 4 makers, odd are they have a blend of the "Jack of all traits" formula for you, the luxurious Mercedes, Practical VW, Sporty BMW, and hot rod
porsche cars all share the same philosophy of automaking. Highlights include the Porsche 911, BMW M3, M5, and Z8, Mercedes SL55, E55, C32, and CL65AMGs, and the Lotec Sirius.
Italy: The italians make the most famous performance cars around. From italy hale the world's most no-compromise push the envelope lines of supercars. The firey italian spirit has long been more than enough to make up for their lack of interest in build quality and practicality, which in recent years have improved. Little more has to be said than the names of their great cars, highlights include: Ferrari F360, Enzo, and F575, Lamborghini Gallardo and Murcielago, Pagani Zonda, Alfa Romeo 156 and Brera, and Maserati GT.
Japan: The Japanese try to win them all, thier cars aim to best american cars in simplicity and bang for the buck, germans in refinement, and swedes in safety. The net result is a very good car with no personality very often. Japan has of late developed its own spirit and flavor of performance car crafting, turning out some of the world's most pre-eminent performance cars. Highlights include: Nissan Skyline R34, 350Z, Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4, Toyota Supra, MR2, Lexus SC430, GS430, IS300, Honda S2000, NSX, and the world famous "civic" lol.
