I would go for the premier mark Bugatti.

But with the story I've linked below that might change things as they could face a $19 billion fine, and yes I did type $19 billion.

Volkswagen shares have plunged more than 18% after US regulators found that some of its cars could manipulate official emissions tests.

The EPA said that the fine for each vehicle that did not comply with federal clean air rules would be up to $37,500 (£24,000). With 482,000 cars sold since 2008 involved in the allegations, it means the fines could reach $18bn.
