American trucks are much better than German ones

[rupol2000]

The Germans are accustomed to submission and tightness. They save on everything. Their trucks are uncomfortable and small. They don't impress.

For the sake of economy, they can't even afford a bonnet.

American trucks are majestic, they emphasize the American spirit of Greatness, as opposed to German poverty and insignificance.

This is idiotic...

Years ago I was hanging downtown at a card shop playing Magic The Gathering and it was during Caribana, an annual Carribean festival held in Toronto. A massive line of vehicles was driving down Yonge Street and all I could see were large pick up truck after pick up truck of the Americans heading over for the parade, I couldn't believe it. Yes, not the same truck you are referring to but the point is that Amercans have always loved their large vehicles and it was the first day I learned this.

Until now, American cars are much larger, on average, I think, 2 times larger, both in size and displacement.

Americans love everything big and grandiose. This is the American spirit.

The Russian Federation is a country with a very poor population. Their average salaries are no more than $500.

But they don't skimp on rags, they throw them away. Rags for technical needs in the Russian Federation are supplied by Germany!

It used to be. I'm not sure EVs will fill this requirement.

Electric cars need to die. They will die as soon as the world pan-German scam is over.
Electric vehicles were designed for indoor industrial premises, and that's where they belong.

They’ve got more room for their ‘large vehicles’. Has this not occurred to you?

It's not about space. There are many spacious countries, but the big cars are in the USA. This is a reflection of the American spirit.

They seem to have got smaller - European size- over the years. Even smart cars are riding the motorways.

European cars have always been small and they always save on gas.

American truck are impressive. I have driven all 3 of the major brands as work trucks.

And the 18 wheeler variety of trucks is pretty sweet. But the Germans have an excellent rail system. Much more efficient at moving freight.

 

[WinterBorn]

And while the German's truck do not compare to those in the US, the German luxury cars and sports cars are far superior to what is made in America.

Ask a luxury car buyer whether they would rather have a Cadillac or a Mercedes. Ask as sport driver whether he would prefer a Corvette or a Porsche.

Aren’t BMW’s made in America?

That’s true. I‘ve spent today travelling from south to north on it.

But....it’s getting creaky, and coming apart at the seams. Constant repairs and frustrating delays are making life difficult sometimes.

They are now. In fact, the origin country of cars is getting trickier. Ford makes their motors in Mexico. BMW and Mercedes are made in the US.

But they are still German cars.

American trucks have to account for the very large American asses that will be buying them.

This is because of the slave economy. Rail transport is cheaper

And that is a bad thing?

Transporting goods is part of the cost you pay. If they can ship it cheaper, it will cost you less.

A Volkswagen made for the Germans
