I used to admire German engineering until I read about the problems they had with their tanks in WWII. OTOH, Shermans were reliable machines.

I drove my sister’s 10 year old C class a few months ago. I still admire their engineering. But I own Japanese autos that will last through any trade war.

The Germans trended toward over-engineering. American engineers were strong proponents of the KISS principle.
