The current English invasion has been an international effort. Rolls Royce is owned (and powered) by BMW. Bentley is owned and powered by Volkswagen AG. Jaguar and Aston Martin have been bought and sold a few times in the past twenty years. As it is, all of these old English makes are as good as they've ever been and flush with success in a down market. They all provide luxury beyond anything the competition offers with performance and driving pleasure that seems unimaginable. The technology is the latest and the craftsmanship is olde world. These brands don't offer an entry level. They have 'amazing' and 'spectacular'. They are built to a standard, not a price. In the immortal words of Sir Henry Royce, "Strive for perfection in everything we do. Take the best that exists and make it better. When it does not exist, design it."
