The German car industry is the basically the backbone of Germany.
Cars are one of the most well known German products throughout the world.
German cars have been around ever since the 1920s and in the 1950s became more of an exporter of cars with the introduction of the Volkswagen Beetle. The Beetle was Germany s first successful car on the world market. It was successful because it was compact and cheap. When the car was brought over to the United States, we coined the term Made in Germany, to scare Americans from buying the product. Soon this slogan stood for high quality and technology, making German made cars the thing to have.
