Why are Americans so obsessed with hating German cars?
lol scotty kilmer is a professional clickchaser
>>28611269There's plenty of Americans that jack off over BMWs as well. Try to go to any car meet and avoid E36 or E39s
>>28611269Because they went from status symbol to hot expensive garbage over the last 30+ years. Only people so rich that they can afford to burn the money and get a new 6-figure car in 4 years or 50,000 miles are insulated from their shittiness. Everybody else that can't keep buying a new car that often and STILL chooses a German car is just ignorant and financially irresponsible. It's ironic because they used to be good. It's crazy how many pre-2000 German models that I still see out and about compared to OOP models made after 2000. I can't remember the last time I saw an E50 or B7 in the wild.
>>28611269american designs are often simple and cheap. japanese designs are often simple and reliable. german designs are complicated and expensive. when german machinery works perfectly, it’s second to none. but it requires a very punctual maintenance schedule to not only maintain the system, but prevent it from catastrophic failure, which owners rarely follow. so secondhand german cars are often worse than american or japanese counterpartsheres an example: my wife’s jeep will turn on the foglight for one side of the car if you turn the steering wheel that way. It’s pretty much an if-else with hysteresis, maybe 100 total lines of code. the German method would be 1000 lines of code, or a completely different design altogether. like including servo motors to turn the physical headlight beam instead of just illuminating a fixed light. so you can see how these little systems add cost
>>28611521>very punctual maintenance scheduleAnd even then, nuBMW's evil ethos combined with their engineering muscle means most of their cars will fail expensively shortly after the warranty is up even with immaculate care.
>>28611269>why are x so *made up thing they aren't*another worthless threadsage
Have you ever thought that krauts can only make dogshit machinery. That's why they lost the world war.. twice.. they almost as bad as the pasta eaters
Scotty kilmer should just die already lol
>>28611269endless money pit
>>28611269imagine falling for Scotty's clickbait.besides, according to Scotty, if you own anything other than a 90s celica, you're a chump
>>28611269I think europeans dont realize how unbelievably shit german cars were from the mid 00's until around late 2010's.
>>28613256>how unbelievably shit german cars were from the mid 00's until around late 2010's.they still are. >w-what about their EVs?https://mbworld.org/how-tos/slideshows/mercedes-eqa-bursts-into-flames-in-driveway-damages-home-in-the-uk-985992
>>28611284This is it right here. Damn shame we only got the om606 for two years.
>>28611269>piccuz he’s on Toyota’s payroll — basically a Toyota shill.
>>28613330It's just a boomer thing. They do it for free lmao.
>>28611521>when german machinery works perfectlythis has never happened in the entirety of human history
>>28613408My 30 yrs old kraut car says otherwise.
