German Engineering - engineered elsewhere?

I have been thinking some more about my post where I wrote about the possibility that the software bugs in the infotainment system of my car might have been born closer to home.

Presuming that the reality is indeed so, the question that now moves into focus is this: Would it be fair for the marketing department of a reputed German company to sell their products with the tag line 'German Engineering' or some variant thereof, when some of the engineering design has been done offshore?

In the current context, we can't call a car as American or German or Japanese anymore. Different parts come from different places and assembled elsewhere.
