Come to think of it, Borgward was the German Saab.

I’m curious, do you know if Renault or Borgward first used the Rhombus as logo?

Renault uses it since 1925, and from what I can find Borgward first used it somewhere in the late 30s, but it used to be even bigger in the beginning, like this:

1937 Hansa Borgward 2000.

I like doing some research like this, it keeps my mind away from studying for my resit on Thermodynamics. Which is probably a bad thing, since I need to pass, because it is the last course left on my Bachelor, and I can’t continue to my Master without it.

Kind of, Herr Borgward had a fable for adventurous engineering.

I do/did exactly the same. But don’t get too distracted, that’s what’s happened to me haha.

I’ll try, but the stupid thing is that I don’t even know the date of the exam yet, so it’s hard to set hard learning deadlines for myself.

They also faced a similar fate.

However unlike Saab some parts of Borgward live on to this day, primarily the Bremen-Sebaldsbrück plant that now produces C-Classes and SLs, the engineering legacy of the post-war Lloyd economy cars which Berang will be happy to point out largely influenced the first Suzuki Kei cars and Subarus Boxer engines AND in a more spiritual way in BMWs reincarnation as a maker of sporty-ish, innovative-ish expensive-ish cars ever since 1962. Incidentally some key figures of the Borgward bankruptcy also happened to work at BMW.

BMW = Borgward Macht Weiter
