Ill Considered Policies in Action

Just makes me all the more thankful that I never want to have anything to do with Germany, ever. Including their cars. ;)

May I suggests you take a second look at that? (Full disclosure: my first car was a 1978 Super Beetle that I worked on and loved dearly -- until she betrayed me with "electrical ghosts . . ." anyway, have had few troubles with German cars, ever.)

German cars are a taste you have or don't, and I'll expand that to observe that cars in general are very taste driven choices.

But as for Germany itself . . .

Don't deprive yourself of the experience if you ever have the opportunity. Germany is a very nice, albeit somewhat expensive, country.

If you like beer, comfortable trains, driving fast, some of the loveliest mountains in the world, medeival castles, beer, good food, good people, and did I mention the wonderful beer? For those with exotic tastes, Hamburg used to have a menu of world famous live sex shows: I am not sure if that is still true, and of course that line of entertainment is certainly NOT to everyone's taste.

I lived in Germany as a kid, and have since been there any number of times. I like Germany. I may throw rocks at sundry Europeans now and again over political opinioins, but IMO Germany is not to be missed. Nor for that matter, are France and Italy.
