Autobahn is fantastic if you do not mind a road system that is paid for by high taxes and less freedoms. Having a nicer home, better finances and living in a country that is willing do defend itself is far more important.

Compared to today's cars it is beautiful but compared to other cars it is not. The interior is really nice looking.

It is nicer looking than the majority of SUV cars today. Crossovers look like vomit.

@stefan2566 Other cars as in those of different periods such as the 1960s. I probably was not clear in what I meant.

@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921 US economy is still much stronger than the German economy which is now part of the EU.

@peter-paulkutschlojenga7336 Median income in the US is $60,000 and the countries you listed are lower than $35000. The median house size in the US is 4 times greater in size than Germany and half the price. Tha means houses in the US by a factor of 8 are lower than German houses. The most common residential housing structure in Norway, Germany and Denmark is wooden frame. So I have no idea what you are trying to get across.

Today's cars are turbos and they have to artificially produce the pops and crackles through the control of computers.

Modern turbo cars are horrible. And are like driving a Playstation.

Modern SUV's look like a womens car rather than an off road mans cars.

@dbclass4075 Germany cannot even fund its defence system and requires help from the US. If it was not for the US germany would have been invaded by the Russians a long time ago.

@lucasbreedijk0209 If it is a third world country why is it the median income in the US is higher than any other country.

@kerim1204 Americans have freedom of speech and a right to protect them self.

@sjb2471 Free speech is the first right Americans are entitled to hence why there are no hate speech laws in America like there are in Germany.

Back when Ferrari used to make proper sports cars before they started to produce ugly looking flat boxes.

The RS5 is even better than the RS4. Try one of them out.

@peter-paulkutschlojenga7336 The top 3% in the US are far wealthier than any other nation on earth so you bring that up makes no sense at all. It is just easier to get wealthier in the US. Median income means it is the middle point of income and what most people earn. One in three incomes in the US are above $100,000.

@dbclass4075 I never said there was anything wrong with wooden houses but somebody else brought up construction and I just pointed it out.

@vicvancen In the US standards of living are far higher. One in three incomes in the US are in excess of $100,000. Median as in middle point that most people earn is nearly $70,000.

@desertsoldier41 The median income in the US would be taxed at 12% and 22% in Germany that same income is taxed at 40%.

@sebastianpomales8186 Germans pay more taxes and that means over their life time it costs them far more even if they are perfectly healthy.

@peter-paulkutschlojenga7336 The 97% in the US are wealthier than everywhere else as well.

@dbclass4075 Russia is not a threat to Germany because there are US airbases in Germany and that means the German air force only needs a few aircraft. If the US was gone Germany would have to step and and spend all that free health money on aircraft and infrastructure. You are naive if you believe Russia is not a threat.

@valikmikze Europe lets their rapists wander the streets. Many european countries jail people for saying things that would not happen in the US. I suppose you like hate speech laws.
1
@stephenshivery2531 That is the beauty of the American system no matter how much attack it comes under it still functions. It happened in the 1970s, 1990s and today and it will still function after the attempted change is undertaken. I am not saying America of right now is better than any period in the past.
1
@thumbthumb5998 So Germans pay more and end up with bureaucracy. So America would be better then.

@wykydytron All EU countries have hate speech laws and high taxes.

@CityWhisperer Driving a car fast is not freedom.

@caphalor7252 US playing stupid power. Germany started ww1 and ww2 killing millions of people in Europe. The USSR after WW2 tried to conquer europe. Without the US there would either a Nazir or USSR flag over Europe.

@eisenschmeisser3959 Median US income is $60,000 and is $33000 in germany. Median US retirement fund is 1.5 million and the figure is unknown in Germany. Median US retirement income is $70,000 and it is unknown in Germany. Clearly not Germany.

@SlosII I am from the UK originally and have also lived in Europe and do travel to Europe and have business interests in several European countries.

@cartmanbrah7408 Freedom is freedom and I have served my country to ensure that stays in place.

@SlosII If you do not care then where I have been then ok. America is free because of free speech and wealthy. Take that as you may.

@arthurbutt4589 You would rather pay higher taxes for lessor quality of life just so you can have a road that allows you to drive faster. At least you have your priorities.
1
@arthurbutt4589 Those countries have more expensive housing in some instances by an order of 10 greater. Cars are more expensive in those countries and the people earn less money.

@DanLekin Timber frame properties are still the majority of properties in Northern Europe.

@Tekeysix If a country does not have free speech it means its people are not free. And that is one of the most basic rights a person has.

@bulcsu7044 Without America modern Germany would not exist. If the US did not help Germany one of two flags would be hanging over Germany right now. As I have pointed out without the US military in Germany right now the German economy would have to pay for its own military. That would mean tripling troop numbers, Building 20 times the number of current aircraft, naval ships and infrastructure to handle that defense. It is easy for Germany to live the way it does when the US military and tax payers have funded the building and protection of modern Germany.
1
@justanothername5199 Without the US modern Germany would not exist at all. It is easy for many of these people to be so critical of the US even though the the US air force is now protecting Germany. There are times when Germany cannot even keep active defence aircraft active. Germany would need to spend at least 4 times what it current does on defence if the US was not protecting Germany. Maybe the US needs to pull out of Germany and let them fend for them self.

@christiandyrvig5789 I am not ignorant just pointing out the anti American attitude that has prevailed in western culture. Without the US modern germany would not exist there would be no fancy autobahn if it was not for the US air force.

@CountDemitri Since Germany does not recognise free speech and has hate speech laws. That is since when. Germany makes nice cars, nice roads and has polite people but to then try and claim that means it is superior to the us is a little bit much.

@CJReap US military spends 800 billion per year and that expenditure also defends Germany and other European countries.

@arthurbutt4589 Those higher tax countries have a far lower standard of living. US median retired income is $70,000 with the median retirement fund in the US being $1.5 million.

@christiandyrvig5789 Europe has had multiple large scale terrorist attacks ranging from mass murder, mass rape and attacks on transport systems. The Winnenden school shooting in Germany resulted in the deaths of 16 people, Erfurt massacre involved a mass shooting in a german school that resulted in 17 deaths. What is your point?

@CountDemitri Germany has hate speech laws that can jail people for talking.

You can only go so fast on public roads. It all then comes down to how the car drives.
