I would credit Carl Benz (a German) with inventing the car, unless you consider the steam-powered vehicles built by the French to be cars.

I do consider the French steam engine as the first automobile, yes. Though, if I remember correctly, the French name translates to automatic cart (since he modified a horse cart).
