An old mechanic friend of mine used to say "German cars are over-engineered and under-designed", lol.
Having worked on every brand of car out there, his description, and your explanation make a lot of sense together.
I've never seen such a clear and concise comparison of German/Japanese manufacturing, you really nailed it.
Both approaches have their place, the key is to know when to apply them.
