If you look at the best braking cars (fastest 60 to 0 and smallest distance), excluding the supercars and hypercars, it's all Audi, Mercedes, BMW and especially Porsche.
A lot can be criticized about german cars but not braking well isn't part of it.
> In Germany (which has favorable taxes on cars) the average new car costs €36,000. BMW has nothing at that price.
A BMW 1-series start at 30 K EUR. Sure it's a "little" car but so are many of the cars people shall buy at 36 K EUR.
Unsurprisingly the BMW 1-series is nearly the best selling BMW series in the EU: neck to neck with the 3-series.
There are sure a lot of BMW 1-series where I live now (a country neighboring Germany).
I don't think BMW, VW and even Mercedes are going to give up that easily. They are trying to shift to EVs and I wouldn't rule out a country who's been producing the finest cars for decades yet (especially jot VW, who's not exactly been the first to adapt new technologies).
