I read a profound observation that I can barely recall. Can anybody find it? Its that German cars use a design that assumes tight tolerance parts, which drives up cost. But Japanese cars use looser tolerance parts which still make up a strong "whole" which is robust to bad parts and wear.
- HeyLaughingBoy 5y agoI don't know much about the design of German cars, but typically in the Japanese ones, you will find that they are designed to work with loose tolerances, but manufactured with actual dimensions very close to the "blueprint" and very little manufacturing variation. As a result, you get very robust construction since everything is basically working exactly in the region it's designed for.
