Post Why do English cars stink?

Isaac Newton, James Clerk Maxwell, Michael Faraday...
Great English minds.
But cars like Jaguars have a reputation something like "The new Jag, you won't find an easier car to tow."
Same is true of MGs Triumphs and so forth.
Notoriously unreliable and unreasonably complicated. What gives? Anyone have insight into this reputation, whether it's valid, and what the causes of it are?
I mean, it's not like England is Korea and just now is stepping into the industrial world era. Japan took to the world manufacturing ideas quickly since the 1950s and 1960s and their cars have become a paradigm for getting a good bang for your buck even after tariffs (with respect to what they aim to do...a new Honda sedan will certainly deliver on its promise to be an affordable, simple, yet reliable car).
Let's hear it.
