German products aren't reliable. Their quality is in precision, and how well their stuff performs, how well they do what they do. But they are easy to break down, and has high repair cost, high maintenance all around.
It is a long going meme that they are reliable. Frequently it's their main selling point, that they are reliable. But marketing works like this, advertise your product depending on which characteristic is lacking. Tell that it is the best in that category. Bam.
