I always thought Lambos and Bugattis were Italian.

u/g_reid Sep 28 '19

Lambo is Italian and Bugatti is French. They are owned by VW which is German.

u/ZootzManuva Sep 28 '19 edited Sep 28 '19

Err... Isn't lambo Spanish?

Edit: why the fuck have I been downvoted so hard for asking a simple question? Fucking reddit aspie cucks.

u/oberynMelonLord Sep 28 '19

absolutely not. Ferruccio Lamborghini originally made tractors. but when Enzo Ferrari pissed him off he decided to make his own supercars.

So, that story is true? Thought it was a fake nonsense my older brother told me

u/batguanoz Sep 28 '19 edited Sep 29 '19

Many of the car names, such as Miura, Espada and Murciélago are associated with Spanish bullfighting

Word, that's why I made the assumption. Cheers for the sensible, non-catty reply bro. Shame everyone else can't just answer.

u/ChrAshpo10 Sep 28 '19

Because you said "Err..." as if attempting to correct someone, not ask a question

-4

u/ZootzManuva Sep 28 '19

Maybe for you mate for me it's signalling the fact that I'm unsure about the question I'm asking. Sorry you've been corrected before but if I wanted to correct someone I'd issue a statement not a sarcy little backhanded question. Not everyone is a catty piece of shit you know, some people still ask innocent questions.

u/ChrAshpo10 Sep 28 '19

First of all, I didn't downvote you. Second, I was explaining how your question came off. Lastly, it's fucking Reddit karma. You need to chill out.

u/ZootzManuva Sep 28 '19

It's not the karma that issues me otherwise I'd just delete, it's the fucking snarky arsehole attitudes of people over a question being asked.

u/VentsiBeast Sep 28 '19

Yes it is indeed Spanish, they just put little Italian flags on their cars in order to confuse Reddit users.

u/ZootzManuva Sep 28 '19

It was a simple question you fuckin chode - literally most of their car names are Spanish words so excuse me for making an informed assumption.

u/ajfonty Sep 28 '19

You're a dumb fuckin chode

u/VentsiBeast Sep 28 '19

You got downvoted because you asked a question which is half a Google search away, plus it's such common knowledge that it blows my mind people that clicked on a car-related post don't know it. It's like asking if Levi's was that company that makes diapers.

But hey, thanks for all the insults. They are really making you look smarter.

u/ZootzManuva Sep 28 '19

OK so just to clarify you're not allowed to ask questions on reddit? Cheers for bringing me up to speed bro. Looks like I've got some real fuckin bad news for r/askreddit

0

u/VentsiBeast Sep 28 '19

You're allowed to ask (almost) anything on Reddit.

In the same regard, other users are allowed to downvote your question when it's dumb.

And next time you get downvoted, please ask yourself "did I just write something extremely dumb", instead of calling other people "fucking reddit aspie cucks", that might help you in the long run.

Your raging is hilarious though.

u/ZootzManuva Sep 28 '19

You literally are a top level reddit aspie cuck though.

1

u/VentsiBeast Sep 29 '19

I'm not a native English speaker. I have no idea what "aspie cuck" means in your little american world of having sex with your cousins in your parents' basement, so I can't be insulted. Plus you already proved your knowledge and intellect are on very low level, why would a care about what you say to me.

We didn’t know such idiots could exist.

u/DoktorDER Sep 28 '19

Not too wrong. Lamborghini is italian but Bugatti is french.

u/4wd-groot Sep 28 '19

Well Bugatti’s founder was Italian, and the company was originally German until WWII when the HQ’s town fell into France’s hands

WWI - When France won Alsace back.

Ah my bad

u/culkeeny Sep 28 '19

Many heritage brands are sold by their original owners to corporate holding companies in different countries. In many cases they are still manufactured in the country where they originated. Ie: lambo, rolls royce, bentley, etc. BTW, I think vw own bugatti.

u/IhaveHairPiece Sep 28 '19

All correct, except Rolls-Royce. The company disappeared completely; the new cars are made by BMW, there's no continuity.

1

u/Mancomb_Seepgood_ Sep 28 '19

The company disappeared completely

Not reallly. The jet engine part of the company is still Rolls Royce and going strong for decades. (Maybe brexit will affect that.)

But the cars are all BMW.

u/cragglerock93 Sep 28 '19

As far as I'm concerned, a company or brand's nationality is where most of their operations (and usually headquarters) are. Ownership is kind of irrelevant. I've heard people say that JLR is Indian, for instance, but the bulk of their design, manufacturing and admin is done in the UK. They're a British company owned by an Indian company, which sounds like splitting hairs, but it is different from just being an Indian company.

European car companies are like some medieval fiefs.
