Why would you be embarassed when you are recognized as the builders of the Best cars in the world?

They'd be far more wealthy if they're not socialist.

Yep Capitalists-Communism...

Economically they are one of the best capitalists in the world possibly rivaling Americans... Politically they are still communists (one-party) of course...

If I were making JEEPNEYS, I would be embarrassed enough to hide my face. 65 years after the war hindi pa rin umasenso.

If Mercedes, BMW, Porsche , and Audi ang gawa ko....not to mention the sub-brands Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Maybach, Bugatti, and Lamborghini...Ill be the proudest person.

The Germans have cornered the top-end of the market. You can't get better than that.

i think eld's point isnt that Germany should be ashamed of its cars

eld's point is that Germany should be ashamed of its business model

Germany is nothing but a dollar chaser no different from China and Japan

all 3 economies rely on the US market

re Germany selling cars to China -- since dollar chaser ang Germany, naturally they follow the dollars to China. trillions of dollars flowed from the US to China. so Germany went to China to earn the dollars the Chinese earned from selling goods to the US

America is a socialist state in denial. China is no longer a true communist country. Otherwise all businesses will be owned by the state. And they are socialist in name only.
