Can we all come to an agreement, that GERMAN Automobiles are SUPERIOR in technology, comfort, engineering, and driving experience?
This is my humble opinion.
Back home in Lebanon, my father had 2 Mercs (first the 190, then a 300 SEL), my brother a 1990 BMW, and myself a shitty old 1989 Golf CL that was a work horse for me for about 5 years
New cars -
Nothing matches the power and class of a Porsche.
Nothing matches the handling of a Volkswagen.
Nothing matches the technology and engineering of a BMW.
Nothing matches the smoothness and elegance of a Mercedes.
Throw away your Alfas, Volvo's, Nissans, Chevrolet's, SAAB's, and Rover's.
German Automobiles RULE.
(yes, I drive a Japanese car at the moment

...I'm saving for a BMW maybe sometime in the very distant future)
