If Top Gear thinks the Camaro is crap, that doesn't stop you (or me for that matter) from buying it right?
Sorry, to take this in a different direction. However, I did not make fun of all non-American cars. I have a lot of respect for quality vehicles from many manufacturers. Without going through my list, I would say that was not exactly a valid statement on your part.

So I would respectfully ask that you lay off the American bashing (regarless of where you live or your nationality) because I don't care too much for substandard manufacturing and engineering.(Regardless of national origin.)( And yes that includes US Manufacturers also.)

Anyway, I was commenting specifically about British Engineered and built automobiles. Electrical, problems being the most notorious of problems over the years. Also, I seem to recall many British Sports cars having serious rust issues over the years. (not to say that there weren't similar problems with vehicles from other manufacturers.)

Anyway, suffice it to say I will not pursue any further dialogue on a non-issue (as far as I am concerned). If you wish to bash me feel free. It's your right. I just refuse to delve into an endless spiral of meaningless drivel that leads to nowhere.
