Germans have always been practical and logical. Their cars reflect this. They are to get from point A to point B. Nevertheless, the cars of a particular German manufacturer always look the same. Take Mercedes for example; their models are hardly distinguishable from one another, all looking the same. Porsche is the same...they have the same design for all of their cars except the cayenne. Italians, on the other hand are impractical, imaginative, and sylish. Their cars are mostly different, their models being far-fetched and eye-catching. They release models with brand-new sheet-metal work quite often. They are always willing to try something new. Their cars are not as brute and industrial as Porsche. I appreciate Ferrari for their sheer-beauty and non-conformality in days where all people care about is speed. It is beyond me why companies that keep the same model (the Corvette, Viper, 911, Espirit) are so admired by the masses.
