After Driving the VW I have to say that German engineering is over rated. Sort of like Scottish medicine. Resting too long on their laurels.
That's a damn shame, the Germans had a great reputation at one time.
I guess we have to change that old joke that goes something like:
HEAVEN is where:The British are the governmentHELL is where:
The French are the cooks
The Italians are the lovers
The Germans are the auto mechanics
The British are the cooks
The French are the auto mechanics
The Italians are the government
The Germans are the police
