After working for several years in a VW/Saab dealership
I could tell that there was a difference (at least for me)
between the ergonomics of European, Japanese, and
American built vehicles.  When I sat in a '98 Jetta and
then my '94 Dakota the feeling was totally different.  Not
because one was a truck and the other a car, but more
of the thought process of the person that laid the gages
and whatnot out between the two vehicles.   The difference
is even more pronounced between a Geo and a A4 Jetta!
After doing it for a while, you'll 'know' when you sit in a
German designed car.
