German engineering.... Nah, I’ll pass. Europeans have shown themselves to be so stupid lately so why would I think trust their engineering to be so smart?
I considered a Volkswagen suv recently. My son is 16 and getting his license so hes getting my old Grand Marquis that is 11 years old. I did some research on costs involved with Volkswagens and found replacement parts were rather pricey. I ended up with a used 2015 Nissan Frontier crew cab. I hope to get a decades worth of use or more out of it.
My sister has had BMWs and went to an Audi this time around. She is a nurse and her husband a doctor and they like kraut cars. My mother-in-law is a European car lover as well, a Mercedes sedan and a Volvo suv. To each their own.
