what do you think the BEST german car thats ever been built is? its got to be a production car and not just a marque!

would it be the beetle? before you laugh just think about it, that was the base for one of (if not the best) sports cars of all time!? hmmmmmm????
oh and dont just say the S63 AMG as that is a successor of the s-class!

do you see what im getting at???

Definitely. Down to every last detail! I don't think any other country could have done half as good a job as that.

I see your point with the beetle. A definitive car that still breathes through modern day Porsches but if you're asking what the "best" german car is, how many people would rather buy a beetle over every other german car ever made?

Think it was about 24million at last count - most sold car ever (unless you count toyota corrolla mk1 to mk?? as one car) Very Happy Ok maybe i'm biased.

I'm not disputing that it's the most sold.

After all it was designed as "the people's car" so it's certainly done it's job.

I just couldn't say that a beetle is the BEST german car ever made!

A pretty well known insurer has said ( and google it if you don't believe me) that the 5th best German car EVER is the very car I drive, the E39 530d Sport. Purely because it "comprehensively eclipsed" its rivals in 2001 for value, speed ... In fact everything it was measured on.
http://www.influx.co.uk/wordpress/features/top-ten-german-cars-of-all-time/

Those of you in the E36 may one day do well to upgrade to this car, I've owned some decent cars over the years and this car for me stands out way above anything I've ever owned. Sure, like the E36 shape, it looks rather old fashioned compared to todays £35,000 cars. Don't let that fool you, theres a lot of car under that metal skin.
When you own one, you'll see what I mean... The car becomes a great friend, reliable, sounds great for a 6 pot derv. Cavernous boot, classy interior and loads of toys.
The best ever bunch for me was the Beetle, first golf gti and early 911's. Oh and a 1980's Merc diesel saloon... Just because I saw so many in Gambia recently still being driven with half a million miles on the clock and hardly any oil in the sump, whining diffs etc... But still the merc lives on and on... Amazing cars!
