Improve your friggin' build quality on cars other than the Rolls, and
Americans might well buy your cars - IF you build them to world standards of
crash worthiness. I loved Rover, but Rovers - other than the old Land
Rovers - were pieces of crap. AND, your cars are expensive! Parts were
expensive, a decent mechanic was hardly ever to be found.

I don't think you realize just how large this country is. All the countries
of the UK are smaller than the single state of Oregon.
