Many professionals consider machine and mechanical products from Germany over-engineered. Vehicles such as Mercedes Benz, Porsche, BMW, and Audi are often recognized as prime examples. Our youngest daughter drives a BMW (Bavarian Motor Works) vehicle which turns off when stopped at every signal light or stop sign and then restarts when the gas pedal is depressed. While there is only a split-second in the restart process, and this was intended as a fuel-saving device, I found it quite irritating.
