It's not a "myth". Germany holds a disproportionate market share in heavy industrial equipment and their higher end cars are second to none as far as ICE cars are concerned. Every time I pop the hood on my BMW to top up the windshield fluid, I can't help but admire just how "right" and uncompromising the engineering is. You can tell no corners were cut. That is a very rare commodity in this day and age.
- jazzyk 9y agoThey are far from "second to none". They are good, but for the price they command they should be better (Audi markets their cars as "luxury", but their quality is just average, see the latest JD Power study [1], also Hyundai's dependability is above BMW's) Eagerly awaiting "dependability is not everything" comments :-) [1] http://www.jdpower.com/press-releases/2017-vehicle-dependability-study http://www.jdpower.com/press-releases/2017-vehicle-dependabi...
- 0xbear 9y agoWhich would you rather drive, a Hyundai or a BMW? And which in your opinion has a better engine, transmission, suspension, interior, etc.
- holydude 9y agoDefine better. Hyundai makes everything from toilets to aegis equipped war ships. If i would have the money i would buy tesla. If i would have to choose i would buy hyundai genesis or sonata. If someone was offering free hyundai or bmw i would pick bmw due to its resale value not quality
- jazzyk 9y agoI'd rather drive a Lexus (and I actually do own one). I'd rather drive a car that I can use, not a car that needs to spend time in the mechanics garage being repaired. BTW, BMW is not going out of business any time soon (unless we have a massive move towards all-electric cars in a short period of time), because there will always be people who will want to drive a "beemer".
