		<description>Obviously, German Car Blog really is a Blog about the Volkswagen Group...actually, now it&#039;s the Porsche Holding...I just wonder what hapened to Seat and Skoda.

Anyway, I guess it comes down to your definition of &quot;nationality&quot; (if there is such a thing in the auto industry).
The new Bentleys are basically Volkswagens, while the Lambo line-up was designed by Audi.
On the other hand, both marques are historically British/Italian. Which begs the question, can a car actually have a nationality? The individual parts come from suppliers all over the world, there are design teams on every continent and even assebly isn&#039;t limited to individual countries anymore.

Personally, I wouldn&#039;t consider Benley and Lambo to be German, but it&#039;s hard to say why. I guess it&#039;s for historical reason. Maybe the rule should be that the nationality of a marque should be the location of its headquarters.

But even then some problems occur. Staying with VW, what&#039;s with Bugatti for example? It was founded by an Italian in a part of Germany that would become a part of France after WW1. To make things more complicated, Bugatti&#039;s now owned by German Volkswagen and unlike Bentley or Lambo it was only a nameplate when Volkswagen acquired it. Volkswagen built a new company and its headquarters in Molsheim, France are pretty much only a proxy (recognize the German name of the town?) So what is it? German, French, Italian? I&#039;d still go with French accordin to my headquarters rule, but you can see that it&#039;s somewhat shaky.

The BMW/Rolls Royce story is quite similar. BMW also just bought the nameplate and essentially built a new company around it.</description>
