Personally, I think that, while noble, this makes no sense anymore. A lot of VWs, BMWs, etc. are built in the U.S. now. Diamler owned Chrysler for a while – so should Chrysler be boycotted? (maybe that was led to their going bankrupt) this would also extend, in principle, to countries that allied themselves to Germany during WWII – so no Japanese cars or products, and no Italian cars or products. No Lamborguinis! sp? What’s more, the US rounded up Japanese-Americans, so should US products be boycotted? It’s all a slippery slope. Aside from this, many in Germany, even if the “government” doesn’t acknowledge it, are very ashamed of what happened. Should they be punished, so to speak, for something that they do not approve of, nor are able to change?
