But on the other hand...Wouldn't Bugatti, Bentley and Rolls-Royce be out of the picture. True, none of them started off German, but now their all owned by German Companies. Thats why I didn't pick them.

Merc1 will have to explain that to me????

I don't mind the car being made by German owned companies - I mean Jaguar is Ford owned (for now) but is not an American car - neither is Elise Malaysian nor TVR Russian. But the Veyron or the Phantom or the Gallardo or the Continental GT is more German than that. The Germans had a huge influence in both design and engineering of these cars. And major parts like the engine and transmission is sourced from the German parent company - so I'd definitely avoid those in a non-German list.

HOH, German owned or made are ok, just no German branded cars.

Oh Ok, I was just making sure I followed your rules for this thread.

In that case I would strongly consider the Bentley Brooksland and Bugatti Veyron.

Re: Top 10 Non-German Cars!

Nice list Habitual Speeder.

The A10 is a fantastic choice, as is the Marcos. Shame the latter has just recently closed it's gates.
