@Number3 sure there are still many who pay way to much for their overpriced german brand ! But the main reason for me is the price difference between a VW and a Toyota is not that much ! Same with US brands. Only Hyundai and KIA have adequate cars now on high std. very well eqiupt and are a good portion cheaper (thanks to a former AUDI designer Peter Schreyer)......i drive a KIA, too. And it had not 1 failure in 3 years now. Sure they are still a bit behind in suspension and finetuning but materials and quality of assembling seems very high and much more constant. In germany, with bad luck, you can get cars which are complete shitboxes, we call them Mondaycars because Monday most workers suffers from their sunday football play or beer,lol. In Asia they work 8-10 hours all day at same level seems to me, like robots, and only a few holiday days; unbelievable. The walmart was a few years to early in germany !....now we have many 1 (each thing for 1) markets and otherīs. In some degree iīm surprised too because the life std. of average Fritz goes down from year to year but he still tries do drive a german brand, even if he cant afford it anymore. On the other hand many people work direct or indirect for/with the carindustry, so their is another reason. I think thatīs not very different from your country.
