• 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.

    Living in LA, you’d think BMW was doing great. There’s an obnoxious asshole in one, endangering the lives of everyone around, everywhere you go!

        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.
