Скачать или смотреть Why Cheap Cars Made Japan Rich — and Expensive Cars Put Germany at Risk?

Step into a story shaped by two contrasting philosophies that transformed the global automotive industry. This video explores how Japanese and German automakers followed different paths—and how those choices led to very different outcomes over time.

The journey begins at a moment when engineering confidence and industrial growth defined success. Discipline and efficiency guided one side, while innovation, complexity, and ambition drove the other. Both strategies built powerful brands. Both delivered years of dominance.

But as technology shifted, regulations tightened, and competition intensified, the systems that once ensured success began to show their limits. Strength turned into rigidity. Confidence became risk.

This is not a story about good or bad cars. It’s about what happens when companies become perfectly optimized for a world that no longer exists—and why survival depends on the ability to let go of the past.
