The German Trio – Why BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi rule!

Fortune (yes, of the Fortune 500 Fortunes) took it upon themselves to analyse the dominance of German cars (including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and Audi – among others) in today’s market. Summarized from the original article, WP Motors is proud to agree with Fortune and provide, for your edification, the Top 5 Reasons to Buy a BMW, Mercedes-Benz or Audi second hand:

1. History is on their side

The Germans have got a one-up on other leading car manufacturing countries in that they’ve been at it the longest. Practice makes perfect and all that. They’ve technically been working toward perfection since 1879! It was in 1879 that Karl Benz (nudge, nudge, wink, wink Mercedes-Benz) first became the patent holder for the first internal combustion engine! Benz also later secured a patent on his first automobile in 1886.

2. The German Autobahn

Fortune argues that any country featuring roads without speed limits is going to produce cars capable of capitalizing on that freedom! The German Autobahn is as world famous as the country’s BMWs, Mercedes-Benz’, Porsches and Audis! These German cars are made to fly!

3. Vision and Mission

Fortune attributes BMW, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz and Audi’s massive success to their overall brand strength. These German brands have without a doubt become synonymous with all that luxury vehicles have to offer, but also with excellent customer services, CSR and so on.

4. Technological Innovation

Germany, a country well known for its fastidiousness, is always on the cutting edge of technological innovations! The engineers at BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and Audi are afforded the optimal environment for exploration, experimentation and ultimately the implementation of new technologies.

5. Luxury

German car brands, such as BMW, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz and Audi have become synonymous with luxury and consumers have come to trust and respect the brand over the years. Therefore, driving a German car comes with a certain amount of prestige. Driving a German car says something about your financial standing, your priorities and your lifestyle. As a result, German cars have become the ultimate indicator of wealth and social status.
