I don't know. I won't buy anything if I know it is a German product. There just seem to be fewer, beyond the German wines and stuff like BMW's, which I wasn't planning on any time soon anyway.

Yes- but when the average Joe thinks "boycott" France comes to mind way before Germany even though both were vocal against the war. The French did take active steps to get others against the war as well and the added notion of ingratitude on the part of France helped Germany escape a lot of negative publicity. The only German wine I know is one my father buys for Thanksgiving because it supposedly goes well with turkey (Gertzen I think it is called?) And would never buy a German car (cars depreciate and owning a car worth more than 20 grand is pointless regardless if you have the money to buy a "luxury" car.)
