Favorite cars from each country

Which are your favorite cars from each country (by manafacturer's origin, not the actual spot it's built on)? American, German and Japanese are obvious; you can also pick your top British, French, Italian, Korean, Swedish or whatever. Note that Chevrolet is 99.9% American. n.n

For me-
American: Chevrolet Corvette
German: Porsche 996
Japanese: Datsun 2000 Roadster, Mazda RX-7
British: Nash Metropolitan, Bentley 8 Litre
Swedish: Saab 9-5, Volvo P1800E

U.S.A. - Franklin, nothing beats the sound of an air-cooled straight six!
Germany: Goggomobil tied with NSU Prinz
Japan: Subaru 360 tied with Toyota 2000GT
Yugoslavia: Yugo (what else?)
Czech: Velorex! (except when compared to Tatra 603)
Italy: FIAT 600 (the first and last good car to come from Italy)
Austria: Steyr-Puch
France: ??? (honestly, I can't think of any good French cars right now)
Sweden: Saab 96, but 2-stroke power only.
Spain: Biscuter
Poland: Syrena(proper spelling?)
India: that one suzuki based car they were making back in the 70's.

Hmmm, maybe I should have done this in alphabetical order.

Correction, knows nothing about French cars. I think you need to read over my list again, I'm sure that there's a couple in there that you've never even heard of!

But now that I think about it, my favorite French car is the Simca 1000.(though the 4cv Renault come in a close second) My mind was drawing a blank last night, for some reason when I thought about French cars, a mid-eighties diesel peugeot kept popping into my head.
