Ok, here is my take on the matter.

Mini: The Brits love it, the car is everywhere here and BMW has done a great job preserving the Mini spirit while enhancing the car by offering various customizations options.

Verdict: British!

Aston Martin: Although their cars have the same keys are Volvos and share knobs as well, the sexy but yet reserved design is typically British. When I see an Aston the Ford name rarely pop up in my head.

Verdict: British!

Bentley: This one is a difficult one. As many of you know I'm a hardcore Arnage and Brookland fans. It really doesn't get more British than those two. But the CGT and Flyingspur ooze of Deutch mass production. One aspect of the car I don't like is that the interior layout is straight out of the Phaeton, it's all not very bespoke and the same goes for the slightly bloated exterior. The car's weren't conceived with 100% passion which is typical of British luxury companies. Heritage and traditions should go before profit. Let's pray that Bentley don't ruin it with the new Arnage

Verdict: Half British, half German.

Rolls-Royce: This is a tricky one, what's obvious though is that all shots are called from Munich. Although it share some components with the 7er there are absolutely no visible traces of BMW in the car which is fantastic.

What bothers me is the styling which is a bit German with it's flat surfaces with very little or no details. That is why the car, unlike the Arnage, doesn't look exquisite from the outside. Further more I don't think the current Phantom will be a model to behold in the future. It's just a bit too trendy and slightly glitzy rather than timeless and classy. When a new model comes along the current Phantom will look dated which isn't common for many British cars will still shine years after they have been replaced.

Verdict: German
