German Cars - use your nose!
Nov 11 '00 Write an essay on this topic.
I grew up in good old Germany. And I was always wondering why I was getting sick in cars and travel busses. Now that I live in the US I know. Finally. German cars, many of them, millions, stink inside. They have a very high concentration of stinky plastic smell, which makes a few percent of the people really sick, get headaches, collapses. This is still going on and very bad. I once was riding in a Mercedes Travel bus in Switzerland and when I entered I immediately smelled it, you could cut the air, like Swiss cheese. I felt sick for 3 days. Non of the American and Japanese cars I drove had this bad smell. In Germany you can not sue a manufacturer for such negligence. Even if you won you would get $1000 or so if you are very lucky. And you have to pay your attorney up-front. Just forget buying a German car, or if you really want to risk it, get someone with a very good nose with you when checking the car.
