Nah really you can NOT tell anymore which car to take, since all the companies now take every part from some other companies, hot glue it into their cars, sell them to someone completely different who puts badges on them.
The only thing I noticed was that with every german car you buy you get a special telephone number which you have to call when you break down. This is only to stay way up in the ADAC (AA in GB) statistics.
Pug runs smooth again. As expected...
Next year I'll go with the Porsche, that thing never failed in 360.000 kms, it won't let me down on one little trip of 2800!
