    What are you going on about? What specifically about my post makes you think I have no understanding of the German car market? I mean, I’ve only owned multiple BMWs, a Mercedes, and an Audi. I’ve driven Porsches on the racetrack and VWs on the autobahn. My parents and friends’ parents had BMWs and Mercedes when I was a kid. I’m definitely no expert on the overall car market or even the German car market, but I’ve been a car enthusiast since I was a kid in the early 80s and have a decent understanding of the basics.
