How is a british-born rebadged Noble an american super car?

And SSC Ultimate Aero (not to mention it's Tuatara successor), isn't mentioned. Nor an Ultima, or a Mosler, or even a Calloway corvette.

Ford GT is barely mentioned in the last sentence of tonight's Top Gear US episode.

A Noble M400 renamed, is still a renamed Noble. A decent car, but it is a british-born super car, and should be classed as a european origin car, now built in Florida.

I might even say that Hennessey Venom GT shares fewer original british bones with a Lotus than Rossion Q1 shares with it's previous Noble M400 badging.

I've never heard of the Rossion before and for me that is saying something. I saw the show and thought it was a Noble when I saw it- and I maintain I was right. Maybe the c7 "base" doesn't qualify as a super car with its 460 hp, (even if it is only 2/10ths slower than the F12 around Laguna Seca) but it deserved to be there more than the Q1. So did the Viper. Hell, the GT500 too.

There's a Rossion in Fourza IIRC...
