TVR - you also have to realize that you are a bit spoiled vehicle-wise in the UK. There are plenty of executives here in the States who are well-paid and driving Ford Taurus, Lincolns, etc. I love my country to no end, but we don't really put out the best cars. In comparison BMW's don't look that bad quality-wise. My father, for one, has the new 745Li on order ...........I dunno, looks like quality to me. He's hardly a drug dealer, pimp or whatever else. And as far as the Jaguar name goes, those things are notorious for spending more time being fixed than on the road!!!.....lol
By the way, doesn't Ford own Jaguar now???? What was that about a "higher class of drivers" again??? And can anyone tell me where an MG-anything is readily available here Stateside?? Doubt it.
Just my .02
