Car companies like VW and Jaguar are so large now that the teams within the companies are able to offer the same sort of specialization that individual companies used to offer just under the umbrella of a huge generalist global juggernaut.

As an American the first thing you can do to gain a little perspective is to think of America not as a single country, but as a collection of multiple geographically bound cultures that happen to share a common top level government. Even within each state that differences between an American living in a metropolitan…
