I guess it's not Henner's point. How many of those 1.8 millon cars can be labelled as English (even British...) cars? If Jaguar, Bentley and Austin Martin produce 1.8 million cars then I will be quite impressed.

Anyway I'm sure I miss other brands, my point was just that England (or Britain again...) is no longer a country people can think about when evoking the car mass production, as France can be.

Instead of that you've kept your luxury car production. Which I think is good. And to come back to Henner's point, I think I (and a lot of people) can't afford a luxury car.
