I have worked on German laboratory equipment for years, and have to say that the whole thing about superior German engineering is a load of crap. In general, the German engineers will over-complicate a design, to no real benefit. The equipment itself is similar to our cars, with nicely finished metal work, but the plastic parts are sub-par.
As far as the Boxster goes, some of it is nicely engineered, and is surprisingly easy to service, but other parts (IMS bearing, window regulators), not so much.
