I remember when "vorsprung durch technik" was used as a slogan by Audi, even in countries where German is not an official language such as Brazil

And the first passenger car with direct injection Diesel came years before from Fiat, an 2.0 inline 4 in the Croma which was used till they switched to common rail in 1997, while VW/Audi continued to produce their pump-nozzle injection for ages, and refused to do necessary updates. While the french cars all had particle filters for years, VW just started experimenting in their customers cars in about 2005.. while talking about it since end of the 1980s.
Took me a while to figure out the Germans who told me Peugeot Diesel engines were better than Volkswagen ones weren't joking.
