In the UK, small French and Italian Cars are very popular, probably because their they're cheaper than the German equivalent.
Whilst the small German cars have built a reputation for build quality, you can't touch a small Italian car for 'character'

I have a little Fiat Punto Sporting which get me to the Train Station ever day - a 6 mile round trip. You wouldn't beleive teh fun you can have with a 1.2litre 16valve engine that produces 90bhp and weighs around 1900 lbs


(But the best bit is it cost me $500!)


Edit - Oh and Ekam, I think you'll find that Bugatti is an Italian name, now built by Germans

You're correct for the first part, but it's built in France and owned by Germans.
