German cars are better than Japanese
but too expensive
Japanese cars have a better price over performance

        They want a quick buck.. think little of the future. Soon everything is gone.. they cry..

        If they keep their heads low, swallow the pride, put the extra effort, endure for a few years. build reputation.. they would have succeeded.

                    Serves them right for trying to exploit cheap labour in second and third world countries. They could move all their manufacturing to the USA, Canada and maybe Germany or the UK. But nah, don't want to pay the plebs too much

Even the cheapest Citroen or Renault is probably leagues better than anything Tata. And we consider French cars to be one of the flimsiest in general... Iirc Tata Nano isn't even allowed on EU roads because it's so unsafe they just don't allow it here.

                        This is the relatively new Tata Hosur plant, not the Foxconn Chennai plant where most made-in-India iPhones come from.

                        It takes time for the plant to develop. Just some patience and training required.
