ford now sell the fiesta at the same money as the vw polo, but it means a lot of people buy the polo because "german engineering" while the fiesta is the better car

Brand loyalty is disgusting

Hell "[x] country makes this car so I love it" loyalty is disgusting

French cars are the best cars prove me wrong

well the thing is traditionally germany made reliable products, and well

I don't get that actually.

like because of historical durability and quality of products, you felt safe buying from german manufacturers

it's the same with japanese stuff

Doesn't VW, BMW, and Mercedes stuff tend to be hit-or-miss?

They make some amazing shit

But holy shit do they make a few stinkers

I have a personal dislike of VW

Mercedes I like, their stuff is usually good

except for the late 90s early 00s

BMW used to be good, now the only good BMWs are the big engined ones

their small engines are trash

also

bmw make this

Well globalism has made it a lot more irrelevant, now it's all a matter of tradition

But different schools of thought generally belonged in different geographic locations for a very long time

And availability of materials in manufacturing, as well as manufacturing knowledge, was also geographically limited

German engineering is renowned for a solid reason, even if it's no longer warranted

I recently bought a bosch drill because bosch are usually good quality and well made and my old drill was a bosch and really good, the new drill is nowhere near as good as my old one

Bosch shit the bed

it just doesn't have the build quality

also my pressure washer is a karcher and it's FUCKING GARBAGE

Tis also why honda is overrated

that isn't true, the pump and internals of my pressure washer are acceptable

but

the pump is held in place in the plastic body

by fucking polystyrene

Value enginerded

it's disgustingly poor that they skipped out on plastic brackets for just bits of shit packing material

But I still stand by my claim, french cars are the best cars.

ew

Have been, are, will continue to be.

faguettes

credit where it is due on french cars

peugeots diesel engines are pretty solid and reliable

Diesel is for queers
