Question:
Does it boil down to education or heritage? Is there something in German beer that stimulates the engineering/practical part of the brain? How come Germany consistently develops more technologically advanced and mechanically superior automobiles than the rest of the world?
What's the difference between 16", 17", and 18" tires?
I am writing a 15 page report exploring this question and I would appreciate constructive answers.

You are just not aware of our advanves, GM has 25 computers connected on one wire and can talk to each other but they don't tell everyone that and some things are trade secrets that you won't here about. We made the 02 sensor for the appolo mission in space and have used it in cars for a long time to reduce carbon dioxide, 'most won't release their info for at least 5 years 7 years, it is the longest they can hold a patents we have many advances includeing things you won't know about for some time. most manufactrues don't tell. likeour hydocarbon bus's electric bus's sattlite tracking and security keys who do you think developed these? the USA...
to be honest, they really arent. they just happen to perfect everything we make.
where can i buy gas powered remotecontrol cars?
Germans develop SOME mechanically advanced parts in cars, but they are NOT by far the most superior in the world. Japanese cars exceed germans in the computer technology components of cars, such as touch screen navis, pre collision warning systems, airbag systems, and most of all, reliability to prevent failure in those aspects of technology and in the mechanical aspects as well.Who finds tractors and coaches the most annoying thing in the world?
In fact, the new BMW 335 auto trans (which shifts quicker and is more efficient than conventional autos) is manufactured by GM, only the specs are from BMW.
What kind of car is the best to use when driving somebody crazy?
But to answer your question, innovation boils down to heritage. Germans generally pour money and R&D into designing systems to enhance the driving aspects of cars. As a result, reliability decreases, cost rises (for the consumer, since cars cost more), and car-puter technology is behind that of other automobiles.
In contrast, japanese tend to pour resources into making reliable, comfortable cars that suit the needs of most people. It boils down to heritage and core values of the company. BUt its definitely not as one sided as you may claim.
gee, I didn't know that!, I thought it was the Japaneese.
why should a turbocharged engine have 16 valves,what is the purpose , could the number be reduced?
You sound like a German? If German Engineers consistently develops most of technological in the world then why wouldn't they received most of " Nobel prizes "? mechanically, German automobiles are far " better " than most of other automobiles but not " superior ", if I have to choose today between a Lexus and a MB in same class, I would pick a Lexus and look at the prices we have to paid for that " technological " superior. For all the required scheduled maintenances and the costs we have to pay when bringing that MB/ BMW in for service, is it worth the costs..most German cars not fully impressed me with their electrical systems, something will goes wrong in a few years, I have an Audi 5000S Turbo once, its a great car and to be honest I was racing side by side with a Camero V8 at a time and even with only 5 cylinders the Camero has a hard time passing it. However, the switch on the Audi power window just quit working so can't close it and the Camero drives on with AC.Each countries has it own distinctive technological innovation. In US we don't care much about cars and what we drive, just getting from point A to point B and back that's good enough, some people might want to tried a different kind of car makes and that perfectly OK as long as you can send in that payment every month on time, the bank careless about what car you drive to drop off your payment.
