Huh? In the '50s and '60s the British built the best cars in the world - MG, Austin-Healey, Sunbeam, Triumph, Jaguar... Sure, the reliability could have been improved (All Hail, Lucas, Lord of Darkness!), but they were no worse than American cars of the period. The problem is not that you guys didn't change, but that you changed the wrong things. You took out the single quality that sold those cars, the fact that they were an incredible amount of fun to drive (which American cars never had), and now all you have left is Lotus.
