German overengineered.

However, its a great show peice. Manufacturing doesn't have to be dark, gloomy dirty and hard work.

When I visted the Audi Museum in germany it was much the same.

The theatre at the start of the tour door closing was most impressive, must have weighed 10+ tons and silently glided shut. They also had about 12 cars on a big chain thing.. Most impressive.
