Question:
Most of the technology and design in cars today is from Germany. Most of the worlds DESIRABLE cars are from Germany. Many Big buck major money making high quality car companies are in Germany. Why is it Japan vs USA in the article? Is the just masses of little pod cars and cheap cars that matter nowadays?
Answers:
Any tips for passing my practical driving test on Tuesday?
most of the cars sold in America are American or Japanese.that is why the Battle exists in America.How long can you run your car radio from battery?
What rock do you live under? Have you looked at some of the 'desirable' German autos lately? How do you explain the bad LSD flashback design all BMW's now have? Not to mention the infernal iDrive straight from hell and the constant trips to the BMW service dept for thousands and thousands of weary owners. What has Opel given us lately? Oops -- they belong to GM. Let's talk about VW. Boy, that Toureg was really a barn burner. Why don't you ask the dealers why they can't even fire-sale them off the lots. The Passat and Golf are also blessed with a design style that makes you want to snore the moment you see one on the road. Audi A8-- well what can you say about a vehicle that looks the same coming or going? Even iconic Mercedes Benz has been plagued by quality and engineering problems for the last three years. Has hell frozen over? At least Porsche has stayed the course. Too bad I haven't won the powerball lottery yet so I can AFFORD one. Don't misunderstand -- just because Germany blinked and got smacked around a little doesn't mean they won't come back with a vengence. They have just been confused about what will sell here in the states (so is GM, Ford and to some extent, Chrysler). Only Japan seems to be in tune with the buying public in north America but even they are playing it safe lately. Can anyone tell the difference between an Accord, Camry or Altima from 100 yards? They all suffer from jellybean exterior design elements. Unlike their counterparts in Germany, the Japanese can strike back with bold design and engineering wonders much faster in response to the market. If GM and Ford can't figure it out how to do the same within the next two years we may all be driving SUV's forever.Damn.
I know this sounds dumb but, how do you start a car?
You're trippin'.what does horse power, RPM and CC specify in car?
Germany has not "run" the car industry in quite some time. The largest German car company is DaimlerChrysler. Builder of overrated Mercedes cars that don't even come close the quality they used to have in the 1980s and earlier and crappy Chrysler products. Number 2 in German is Volkwagen/Audi, which does build some great cars
But all German cars are notoriously unreliable these days, especially Mercedes-Benz, which used to be one of the best, ironically.
Are all unleaded gases created equal?
Most new BMW's look like dogsh-t, though they are cutting edge in a lot of ways still, mostly they are owned by status-concious a-holes more than genuine driving enthusiasts.
How much does it cost and how long does it take to get a driving licence in London?
Meanwhile the Japanese are making "cheap little pod cars" like the Lexus LS460, you know the car with better reliability than anything to ever come out of Germany? The car that won Car of the Year from at least 4 different magazines this year.
You'd better recheck your facts dude. LOL
how to use a public bus? (read on)?
The Japanese run the car industry, like it or not and they are growing and gaining market share while everyone else is losing it. End of story.
Sounds like you live in a bubble
What should we do when meeting a slow moving vehicles?
Seriously, just because you have a preference for german cars doesn't mean they run anything. Likewise, they are fighting it out with the koreans for total market share, at least in the US. The Japanese makes and US makes account for most of the market share in the US.
where can i find a picture for a international scout pickup?
Japan and America run the car industry..... it comes down to who sells the most and best quality cars..... that people can afford. I agree Geramny makes some nice cars, Mercedes S series..... but america and japan make just as many, if not more different DESIRABLE autos. America owns the SUV and Truck world....period. Most people nowadays need affordable effecient autos. No-one is going to buy a 250K car versus a 20K car, especially the everyday joe who busts his behind going back and forth to work 5-6 days a week, he needs an effecient reliable affordable auto..... thats where Japan and America own the auto industry.More Questions & Answers ...
