I almost have a degree in engineering, 1 month left. Two things have been beat into my head over the last 4 years.
1) The perfect design is achieved not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
2) Anything that can go wrong, eventually will
I just can't justify something that will cost me twice as much while I own it. Its not an issue of affordability, its common sense. If I needed a top notch interior things might be different. I look at the entire picture when I decide whats best. Performance, reliability, fuel economy, repair cost, vehicle cost, build quality, interior quality, styling. Based on all that, I just don't think europeans are worth it. Also using the same logic, I have come to the conclusion that the new Camaro will be the absolute best car on the market.

I hear and agree with what you're saying, but it has little to do with country of origin. It has everything to do with physical mechanical/electrical content, and these car have TONS, a little too much in some cases. So in that sense the more technology you have there's little doubt something will fail. You wouldn't say the same for Audi's, BMW's and MB's of the early 90's,80's and years prior, would you?
