"nuechtern" means (say) "unexciting".

If you want to be amazed, go to the Mercedes-Benz plant in Bremen. Just fantastic, the level of automation making a new car every 48 seconds. You walk around the body plant on an overhead gantry and get a birds-eye view of robots working in teams making car bodies in white.

Same with the BMW factory in Munich. As you walk around, it's now just what is happening around you which is fascinating but what you see overhead, the parts delivery systems delivering parts to the line and the right engine to the right car for the right export market at the right time. Simply unbelievable.

Or else you can go to Morgan factory in the UK and see them making cars out of old trees...
