My personal feeling is that (and i'm not being racist or phobic) but with our English heritage we aspire to leather and wood etc... opulence, solid luxury.
We are not German, Swedish, French or Italian etc.... They have stayed true to what is their styles but the English cars have lost their way and suffered for it. Sadly most car magazines are pro German.
I have owned many cars and Always seem to come back to Rovers, After I owned my P5b coupe 20 years ago, very few cars have aspired me to just stand and look at the car at the details the lines etc.. but the 75 after its washed gets the same attention. Like I said just my opinion not meant to offend
