I don't understand the "Made in Germany" hype especially when VW has
historically out sourced more of their manufacturing than anyone else. They
were the first to go global and at one time VW produced cars on every
continent except Russia. At the same time they sourced parts from everywhere
including China. Add Westfalia in the mix and you get even more global
parts.

We see China as a junk parts manufacturer because as consumers we are only
willing to personally pay junk prices to China. And the result is we see
ultra low cost toys and accessories from China at the local WallyWorld. This
twists our opinion of China. China has been making a lot of quality parts
for years. They are in your high priced TVs, cars, microwaves, stoves,
etc....

these days you see labels on parts boxes like 'meyle germany' ....

and 'Kolbenschmidt Germany' ..and when you look closely it's not 'made in'
Germany ..
it's just a German company.
with parts that are made you know where often.
