"A lot of stuff with the Bosch name isn't very good. Bosch just has such a good marketing program that they've convinced almost everyone that anything that says Bosch on it is high quality stuff. People thing that all the various items with the Bosch name are made in a high quality factory in Germany with high quality engineering, testing, and labor staffs. Not so."
Whoa, whoa, whoa there.. Bosch is a top of the line brand! In both of my GERMAN cars (BMW and MB) most of the OE components are Bosch. Why would high end companies use Bosch? Cause they make great stuff! ****, they invented the spark plug! If I had to choose between an American brand, Japanese, or Bosch.. it would be Bosch hands down.
