 charmless perfection in German engineering - Buddy
An interesting comment in one of today's newspapers. The (German) chief engineer at Bentley is asked which cars are cooler: German or English? English, definitely, he says. "In German cars quirkiness is engineered out in the quest for perfection. They are like a person perfect at everything, but not very engaging, witty or charming. English cars have more emotion. more charm, more soul."
So that's why a Jaguar or an Aston look so good, next to a Merc or Audi. Anyone want to discuss?
