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).
