Now, what do you need a car that goes 215 mph for? When will you ever be able to use that, when you run off to answer the Bat Signal?

No, I haven't. But I looked it up. What purpose does it serve except for an over abundance of carbon monoxide fuel emissions and the possibility of deadly accidents?
When you said half-decent, I was excpecting to read about a reliable vehicle, not a toy.

I beg to differ on this point, Honda (which resides in my home town building the Civic & CRV) create the V-Tec engine which over the millions of engines produced not ONE has gone back to the factory! I am sorry but it’s all about Japanese reliability!
Secondly, those "English" car manufacturers you have quoted are all owned by the Germans (pretty much!) and that is why they are so reliable! For example;
Rolls Royce – BMW
Bentley - VW
Thirdly, Americans might be able to produce a car that does 0-60 in 3 odd seconds but can it go round a corner? I would bet my life that it can’t! Out of what an American can get from a 6 litre engine, the Japanese can produce the same power from a more economical 2 litre!

You are from the UK and you would prefer a Toyota Landcruiser over a Land Rover Discovery3?

The Range Rover is Ok, not a good car for riding in the backseat, I'd prefer a Defender 110 or 90, now THATS an ugly Brute of a machine

I had a boss who had the Vogue and was a crap ride! The only people who drive 4x4s are Mums on the school run, who could have walked, around my way!
