What is the nationality of Bugatti ?
Bugatti has been created by Ettore Bugatti in Alsace (eastern France), an Italian living in France. In the 90's, Bugatti has been bought by an Italian. In the 2000's, Bugatti is bought by VAG.
So, is this make : French, Italian or German ?

It would be tempting to say German (as Molsheim in Alsace was in Germany when he moved there prior to WWI) but the marque is French in the best meaning of the term.

Re: What is the nationality of Bugatti ?
Molsheim was not long German, it has always been French except this period
 Is that a bad meaning of French cars ?....

Re: Re: What is the nationality of Bugatti ?
I've verified, Bugatti is 100% French, the capital is Germano/Italiano/French (mainly German : VAG).

Re: What is the nationality of Bugatti ?
While Bugatti was born in Italy, it doesnt mean the company he starts was Italian.
The company is French, doesnt really matter who owns it. Saab isnt american, even though its owned by GM, for example.

Re: What is the nationality of Bugatti ?
And Cadillac was founded by Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac who founded also la "ville d'Etroit" (now Detroit !). Is Detroit a French town, and Cadillac a French make ?
Be serious, Cadillac is American as Bugatti is French. That's all. Same thing for Nissan, it's Japanese, not French, Chrysler is American, not German, Volvo Swedish, not American, etc. etc. etc.

Re: What is the nationality of Bugatti ?
Originally, Bugatti was French...then it closed up. Then it was revived as an Italian company...then it closed up. Then the name was purchased by VW and revived as a French company. So it all depends on WHICH Bugatti you're talking about.
