Why car brands from Germany are respected as they are?

1. German car brands: Introduction

Germans are known for their great beers and sausages that go great with pickled cabbages known as sauerkraut. They are also known to be very efficient in everything they do and hold punctuality and process improvement in high regard. No other product from Germany is this manifested than in their cars.

From speed demons such as Porsche to everyday econoboxes with Volkswagen, you can see precision engineering overshadow everything else for design to passion, and it seems to be working out for them perfectly fine. This gives their cars a sense of quality and craftsmanship unmatched by any other company around the globe.

One thing is for sure, people love their German car brands

Today we’ll be giving you a brief overview of German Car companies, their most Iconic brands, and most legendary models as well as the reason behind their famed engineering prowess and efficiency.

2. More than being the Car of Germany

For many people, cars can be considered as works of art. The pinnacle of design and marriage between engineering and culture. These are not the Germans. They may have one of the most utilitarian and mechanically efficient car brands in Europe.

Their engineering Philosophy is Function over form and that is why any Car Brand can consider them as the car of Germany.

German car brands are the pinnacle to engineering and execution

If Italians car brands value the aesthetic value of their products, Germany car manufacturers are on the complete opposite end of that pole. In fact, one prominent German car brand Porsche has been re-hashing the same basic design for their Porsche 911.

Nothing wrong with this the 911 is a perfectly beautiful car, but Porsche seems to be uninterested in drastically changing the look of the car altogether.

German Car brands can be fun sometimes, to a certain point

Germans value proper engineering over external looks. Volkswagen’s cars have over the years been called bland such as the VW Golf and the Polo with their perfectly symmetrical and geometric shapes. No one’s ever called them ugly, however, but neither will it make your heart pound.

You can have a field day searching the internet for the funniest ads these companies actually put out against each other.
