Mostly a joke, but you should watch the Grand Tour: Carnage A Trois

The French have a questionable and hilarious automobile engineering history.

Don’t be so upset, it’s just a joke. Your people are good at many things, food and wine for example. Cars just aren’t one of them.

they are not my people 🤔 speaking french doesn't make one french

you can make a joke about Volkswagen and ecology, for example, there is material there. But what's funny about writing that you hesitate to get in a french car 🤷 where's the joke?

french culture is rather good with machines and engineering. Trains, planes, cars, towers, bridges and nuclear stations &c.

they should be proud.

Bicycles?

Just watch the show I suggested. It’s hilarious.
