And built real British cars, instead of abominations like the X-Type, which was basically a re-badged Ford Contour (or Mondeo in Europe) with all wheel drive.

The Contour wasn't a bad car -- in fact, I had one in the late 'nineties and it was a comfortable, great handling car that was kind of a sleeper -- but there was no way a few different parts would make it a British car.
