based on pure desirabilty - it has to be an Italian, - Ferrari, lamborghini, Masarati.
But for engineering then - it has to be German, or even Some british marques - Jag, Rolls.
And before any one mentions that they are all owned by other nationalities/companies - We are going back to their roots!
It's a tough one this!

based on pure desirability?

then that comes down to taste and thats subjective.

Might aswell have a poll for what is the best colour!

......so where does the roots come into it as a deciding factor??  The US did start mass producing cars before Hitler could grow a moustache?

.......or am I just being pedantic?

sod it............French cars smell of wee, Top Trumps anyone?  :P

Subjective? isn't that the idea of a poll?
wouldn't be much point in having them if we all had the same opinion!
And the roots refered to the companies origins not who holds the purse strings now!
God now I'm being pedantic :-\
Have to agree about the french cars though ;)

Regardless that I drive French and my wife German how can you ignore the UK sports cars (Lotus, Caterham, TVR, etc.).  I think UK first with Italian a close second (although theirs are generally too expensive or very badly built).

 ITS VW, reliable fast funky and best of all I'm the only girl racer in my area with a Gti. Pugeots are crap. fiats are like drivin round in a tin with wheels. Ford fiestas are ok( only if they are rs1800 i used to have one,) Cossies are just brill, they are a car with ageless looks and style, but parts are expensive.( Believe me i know!) no-one can go wrong with VW's they just keep going and going and going and well you catch my drift.   I LOVE LADAS!  thats a joke.

VW......  I've had my fair share of cars, and I know you all must think I'm bios but VW have always been known as reliable cars, in my experience thay are the most reliable...   Well build, look at BMW, AUDI, Porsche, all reliable, vauxhall(english) Crap, I've ad one....  Ford, say no more, my bro has one, been trying to convert him....  Toyota, Its Japanise.....  French, horrible soft cars, only car apart from German cars worth getting is the Scubie and the Mit Evo 6 extreme...
