And Germany lost the war to the US and its crappy tanks and crappy cars...
German cars are built to run in Germany. Driving in Europe is a totally different experiance then driving in the US. Hell every taxi and bus in Europe is a Mercedes benz. I remember walking In Nice France on a port call with a buch of Sailors and Marines from the Carrier and every other car we saw was a Lambo or Ferrari. It took us about 1 hr to walk 4 blocks because we were amazed at all the exotic cars we saw. All the French people didnt even give a look at the cars as they passed except for 1 yellow C4 Corvette that caught the attention of just about all the locals. We were amazed. A TPI corvette is a jaw dropper for French people just as a Lambo is to us!
