    Was discussing this with a friend who spent a few years working in Germany . His take was quite an eye opener. The concept of home ownership is no where as deeply entrenched as in Australia in his view it was not even on the radar for most , they were happy renting for life. The result being that they are not burdened down with huge mortgages thus leaving most with a bigger disposable income . I suppose that is why they can support 5 major car brands and as Germans are loyal to the country their spending choices are swayed towards German brands. Not sure how we could ever replicate that ethos here as we are welded to a need to own the shack ..or in some cases many shacks
