• Germany’s car industry was once recognized around the world for its high-quality, innovative internal combustion engine cars. But things have changed since then.
  • The industry is facing a range of issues, from regulation to macroeconomics, China and EVs.
  • Issues in the automotive sector may also have spill over effects onto the wider German economy, which has been struggling for some time now.

      I see rich arsehole cars daily. Audi, Lamborghin, Ferarri, Bentley, Rolls Royce, Porche, etc. But 9 times out of 10, when I roll my eyes about someone driving like a piece of shit, or annoyed by their obnoxious exhaust, it’s a BMW

      That’s also the case here in the Netherlands though BMW is still up there as an asshole car. Surprisingly, I have a hunch that the next one to join this club is going to be Volvo around here, they’re €€€ and I keep seeing them behaving just like the BMWs/Audi’s.
