Germon here...please o, don't fall for this again, ignore or report this thread.

There is no best car and german cars are low tier when it comes to price/cost of keeping ratio.

I know o loves to get triggered with dumb shit, like somebody posting a manual tranny and saying something about americans and their automatics...
But for once, try to avoid the mindset of a 12yo 9gag visitor, /o/.

Another Gerfag here.

They were great until the mid 90's, before every fucking brand decided to aggressively go world market instead of focusing on the domestic market and exporting as priority AFTER it.

The old cars totally deserve the fame but there's literally nothing of that left in the modern ones. They're completely average now.
They even more resemble Korean cars than European or even German ones.
>>
>>14708703
This. Only the old cars, and only some models are great until today.

Also, all that new shit is now with planned obsolescence.
In the earlier days german manufacturers had to compete to proof their quality.
Now these jewish cunts got lazy and are milking us customers....well the dumb ones that buy new cars full price.

Cmon have some pride I think Germans still make the best cars

S-Class sedan is pretty much the most technologically advanced civilian 4 wheeler you can buy

The Tesla Model S is the most technologically-advanced car in the world.

The Apple car will be the second.

Yeah, pls tell me more how i should care about a soulless corporation that would fuck off to china for production any given time if they had no reputation to lose.

Just fuck off. The s class is dogshit, stuffed with gimmicks that will cost you a fortune once they fail.

Great cars only until mid 90's?
Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series?
BMW E46 M3 CSL?
Porsche 911 GT3 RS/ Porsche 918?
Just because you're german doesnt change the fact that you are ignorant and don't know shit about your cars.

Also the BMW E39 M5, possibly the greatest V8 sedan ever made.
And the Audi RS6, one of the most epic family wagons you can buy.
I could name much more truly great German cars after the 90's.
Also the M3 that other car makers have been unsuccessfully trying to match for more than 30 years.

>>14708757
>>14708767
Whoa pissed you guys off pretty easy let's settle down

Just wasn't happy seeing Germans down talk their own product although there does seem to be a pattern of self-hate going on in Germany right now

The S-Class is far from dog shit but it's true technology isn't the most important feature in a car. I'm sure we can all agree that they're overpriced and will lose half their value in 5 years, it still doesn't take away from the car's quality though.

>>14708765
Forgot about the Tesla, this is definitely the most advanced

German cars today aren't bad compared tot he competition. They still hold the same ranking.
VW being the exception. They are complete shit.

The biggest problem is that cars like the w124 were perfect in every way and completely infallible and could not be improved upon ever because they are perfect.
And the only way left is to go back down.

I honestly can't think of another country that produces luxury sedans. What are some other makes that do them? All I can think of is Lexus but those are still just land barge Toyotas...

When you think of luxury you just naturally think of Germany. It's surprising considering the whole working man image they have.

>>14713147
This. Are either one even offered in other countries?
>>
>>14713100
This, S-Class is the best big sedan.
>>
>>14713160

Japan, South Korea, China, most of the middle East,
>>
>>14713190
the only respectable country listed on there is Japan

why are some many US cars offered in sandland though? do we give them to them in exchange for oil or something?
>>
>>14713049
absolutely. Before, really 2010, KIA was absolute garbage.

But now their 30,000$ interiors feel and look like 60,000$+ interiors
>>
>>14713202

Because the rich sandniggers like luxury sedans and suv's. If you've ever been to Canada you've probably noticed that most luxury vehicles are owned/rented by sandniggers.

>>14713216
> rich sandniggers like luxury sedans and suv's
Rich ones like German luxury cars and Italian supercars, the poor ones in Murrica buy Lincolns and Cadillacs.

but Caddy is/has been offered in Europe.

South Korea is not a respectable country..?
>>
>>14713262
Caddy's are rare sites in Europe. Usually they're owned by people that just want something American so they feel like an American.

It's the same reason turks by highly depreciated luxury cars. Because it makes them feel rich because they've got a Mercedes.

>Caddy's are rare sites in Europe

So was Lexus doesn't mean their cars were irrelevant considering some of the reviewers rated them (LS400) higher than their rivals at the time.

>Usually they're owned by people that just want something American so they feel like an American.

No, sorry but that makes about as much sense as someone in America wanting a GTR because they are weebs who watch anime instead of people just wanting/trying a car they might like (even though Corvettes and 911s here vastly outsell GTRs.)

Clarkson is a flag-waving brit yet even he still likes caddy.

brand image takes time to build and caddy didn't start turning around until the mid 2000s
