Has there ever been a self-sufficient, profitable Brit car co that has its reach somewhat worldwide (so no 'kit car' or extremely small-scale companies)? McLaren was promising but it's in the red supposedly. AM was never really about performance until it suddenly went impressively crazy w recent models but it's still in the red too...and Jag pales in comparison to these 2 better brands. The Brits make some good cars but somehow can't run a successful car biz.

Jag had a great head(re)start w the gorgeous F-Type but utterly failed to capitalize. Also, some signs of poor design/engineering? as how could the trunk from its convertible be so pathetically small? It's embarrassing!
