Already done

>>63882255
How much?

>>63881795
If you've ever worked with Germans, you'll quickly realize they're terrible at engineering but great at marketing.

>>63882255
I love this vehicle like you wouldn't believe

>If you've ever worked with Germans
You don't even need to work with them. You just need to try a PRECISION ENGINEERED GERMAN STEEL RAZOR once and you'll learn it's the same or worse than all the other razors out there, but costs twice as much.

All changes would purely be internal. She works just fine. Only real change would be an apparatus for remote control in case of contested skies.

Sorry they stood up to you in the 40s dude, I know you aren't used to that

Make it a drone

Something from /tg/ for you.

Hey, I remember you form the Gaslands thread!

Something like this?

>>63882312
That's why if possible I buy Nordic stuff. They are autistic like the Germans but have a much more practical side to them.

>>63882312
They tried Bauhaus once. They didn't like that you must den Nippel nicht durch die Lasche ziehn und die kleine Kurbel ganz nach oben drehn, da erscheint da dann ein Knopf und da drücken Sie dann drauf.

We're at a point where the best German cars for your money are Skodas.

I seriously hope you guys don't do this.

>>63882312
nah, kraut engineers are still capable of some genuine peak autismo engineering but most people don't know that their supposedly "premium" shitbox is not made by engineers but accountants thus the cheapass Romanian wiring harnesses etc
the smaller kraut companies is where it's at if you want quality German engineering because the big global players suffer from the same cost cutting shit big companies in other countries do
>t. deals with kraut engineering for work

>>63887145
Mercedes, BMW, Bosch, etc bullshittery isn't related to cost cutting but to control and squeeze the retards still buying their products.
>same with 'american' tool brands

>>63884087
Nice. Or OD.

>>63887170
>Mercedes, BMW, Bosch, etc bullshittery isn't related to cost cutting but to control and squeeze the retards still buying their products.
It is, because they do cut costs due to the company specifically to squeeze out more profits out of the retards you mentioned
Check out the Lopez effect, named after the dude that made a career out of this and crippled Opel and VW long term in the process because the quality took a nosedive to no ones surprise

>>same with 'american' tool brands
That is absolutely true and they're not the only one who fell for this gimmick, doing retarded shit to please shareholders

Just build the same thing with modern technology and materials, preferable using off the shelf parts.

Ha ha ha

>>63887369
don't forget the contractors monopolizing repair and IP

How does it turn?

>>63887170
It's even worse than that. It's a perfect trifecta of:
1. Engineering degradation overall (it's happening everywhere in the world, not just in german automotive bullshit), you literally have retards doing retarded things because no experience, because gay zoomers and browns are designing cars who aren't even driving them, etc. As a part of this a big reliance on catalogue specs of things, i.e. the polymer in catalog is stated to resist temperature and oil/gas, so it's used, but IRL it's not actually able to resist it (either because the catalog is bullshit or because the chink suppliers bullshit the polymer, whatever), so it fails and fucks up a ton of other stuff. Also the use of CAD and VR crap fucks up things, since people don't really take into account how things work in real life while they can view everything from every angle in a virtual environment, while IRL it becomes a fuckin' mess. Older engineers would easily avoid a ton of issues like this just based on experience and such.
2. Management/marketing driven design. People don't buy a product, people buy a "lifestyle" which that product represents. Half of the reason is because women are buying crap using their man's income kek. At best people compare shit in a spec shit (where things are lied, but they feel like they've made an informed decision) and don't actually value things like reliability, repairability and so on. And now on top of that a manager decides how things are made, even when it's retarded and doesn't make sense. This is how we get that Audi V8 with their chains placed on internal (closer to the firewall) side for example. Being beancounters is also part and parcel of management driven design. Save a penny, fuck up a pound.

3. People being retards and trying to save a buck even on premium shit, feeling super practical in the process, get fucked by companies moving part of the extracted value not from the sale itself, but from maintenance. You want that faggy Mercedes to be cheaper? Sure boy, we'll make the price cheaper, but we'll rape you of maintenance and parts like you wouldn't even believe. And none of those "I'm super mindful of practicality" faggots ever think about basic bitch Total Cost of Ownership in this sense, thinking instead about the price, the financing options and fuel economy (which is all lies kek).

It does not. You get on and drive it all the way to Berlin.
