How cultural, regional, and physical differences can influence car design
Core77, 5 July 2010.
Abstract/Summary
Years ago when I was a car nut, most of the car magazines I pored over agreed that the Germans made the best suspension systems. The reasoning was that cars designed in Germany, specifically for German use, had to contend with the no-speed-limit Autobanh–where rock-solid steadiness is important–as well as the centuries-old cobblestone streets of many villages, where the suspension had to provide enough cushioning to avoid a teeth-rattling ride. The Germans, it was said, had best managed to strike a balance between the need to accommodate these two extremes.
