While I object to war terminology on cars, anti German objections are ludicrous. If any country has jumped through hoops of fire to make up for the war it's Germany! Having lived in Israel, I have seen an extraordinary effort to set things right. The German government still pays war reparations to both Holocaust survivors and their direct descendants. More reparations were given to Israel in the form of cars and trucks. More recently Germany gave, repeat gave Israel a brand new nuclear submarine! Irregardless of these facts, you buy a car from the people who live there now, not 50 years ago. Maybe you hate things Germany did in the past, don't take it out on their grandchildren! I personally would feel uncomfortable using German on a plate since I am not a German national, nor do I speak the language. "Macht shnell" hasn't been heard around our house for a generation. I have heard non English speakers try to get cute using American slang and it didn't feel very good.
