Few random thoughts:

	1- On newer cars, I don't think there is a notice-able performance 
	   difference for equal cars between Germany and US.  Most newer 
	   German cars in Germany have the smog equipment required by US. 

	2- In most place in Germany or for that matter Europe, you will 
	   not need a car.  Public transportation is the norm.

	3- Gas prices are about 3 times higher than here.  Not sure about
	   the insurance rate.

	4- Cars rust pretty quickly.

	5- Parking is somewhat of hassle and it could be expensive.

	6- Most german cars in US are better equipped as their counter part
	   in Germany.

	7- Last time in Germany (~2 weeks ago) I did notice lots of audis
	   (80, 90, 100...) and a greater variety of them within each model.
	   Some had wider wheels and some how looked more aggressive than their
	   counter parts in US.

	8- Cars are more expensive in Germany if you have to pay all of their
	   related taxes.


Good luck,
