I am German, but I think certain things from certain countries are better. I simply want to "try them all" and to deny that the German automobile is unique is just ignorant. It offers a different feel from American and JDM. I want to experience it. I may hate it, but I want to try it.

I have owned several cars, from JDM imports to Mercs, they dont have a single good thing to say about japanese car or american cars. Convos with them always ended up with them picking on little things and how the rest of the world will never be as good as German products.
Not my bag. Meh. Some things, yes, like when SIG went from W Germany to Exeter, NH, total failure, lol.
Funniest thing is, they dont have a single complaint when i drive them around in my SLK, and the SLK was making all sorts of noises due to the fact that it is a convertable.
I'm not into Merc. I would like to try BMW. It's just more my style, and comes in manual still.
I do admit that german products are at the top of the line, but that doesnt mean that other products are bad. Like others said, it doesnt take a rocket scientist to take apart the console cover, and i never have any power steering noises.

But nissan seriously needs to work on the paint..
