An old mechanic friend of mine used to say "German cars are over-engineered and under-designed", lol.

Having worked on every brand of car out there, his description, and your explanation make a lot of sense together.

I've never seen such a clear and concise comparison of German/Japanese manufacturing, you really nailed it.

Both approaches have their place, the key is to know when to apply them.
