Well, I don't want to bother getting into debates about American vs. German.
In Germany BMW is seen as the 'grandparents' car...like our cadillacs of the 70's 80's early 90's while over here, its marketed as 'the ultimate driving machine'.
In japan, they don't think much of Lexus, the the U.K. small cars made by ford are pretty hot.

I was just responding to your comment on the assumed quality issues at an Alabama plant for the ML line of vehicles. Then Rob pointed out the cars made in South Carolina.
All I am saying is that if the ingrediants and recipe are to 'print' and reliable, then any chef can make the dish.
But then again, I'm a Ford man and therefore in the minority on most of these car discussions.

Man! They had to do this when I am unemployed and can't get down there! This is personal! Somebody will pay!
Anyone got an extra ticket to Florida? : )
Is this a one time only thing or do they do this every year? I have a Saab now (left over from when I WAS employed). I needed it because I sepnt so much time on the road. I would love to see how it stacks up to the Beemer. I also want to know how it compares to the CTS - they are both on the same platform.
Oh, and not all VeeDubs are made in mexico. Passats are made in Germany, as are SOME of the GLX Jettas. And remember, some off the new Mercs are being co-developed as Chryslers.
They have an XLR there - to drive? That's it - I'm hitchhiking!

BMW is the Chevy of Europe... 'nough said... lol
Lexus is nonexistant in Japan... however, the cars are there... Toyota Altezza (IS), Toyota Soarer (SC), Toyota Aristo (GS), Toyota Windom (ES), Toyota Celsior (LS), Toyota Land Cruiser Prado (GX), Toyota Land Cruiser 100 (LX), and the Toyota Harrier (RX).... that's the US Lexus Lineup as it is known in Japan.
and UK fords ARE hot.... Cossie...'nough said

I am assuming the quality of workers are better in Germany for mechanical items such as cars than they are here in America.
In Germany, you can still get yourself a nice hand built engine. I don't know of an American company which does that. You might know.

MKT the old beatles are still made in Mexico are they not?
AMG = mercedes handbuilt...= (according to the dealership) less problems with the engine/less repairs on average.

For cars. . .no. But I have heard of a place called GEAE (General Electric Aircraft Engines) located in Cincinnati that makes some pretty good engines.
I am not sure about engines for cars like the GT40. Based on production levels, I would assume that some of the early versions were 'hand-made'. What are the Eurpoean Fords like?

Brabus though is not in house (yet) with AMG you still keep the warranties and can get a 7 year one if you want like other Mercs.
I have to go check the specs on an M5...Audi has made some rockets recently, but their rep in the past hasn't been so hot I've heard. Don't know much about cars.
What about Lorinser or Renntech?
Oh, in England, they have we dreams for some of the Fords there (they don't product them here...looks like our hatchbacks modified).

Kim Schmidtz's Brabus is like a BestBuy. But it takes that much distraction to quench his ego's thirst.

One more reason to love the U.S. gov. 
Very strict limitations on what we are allowed to produce or even import.

Yes, Judd, that is exactly why.
