"Advancement Through Technology" or "Progression Through Technology"

"Vorsprung durch Technik" is a phrase familiar to many as the slogan for the German car company, Audi. The origins of this phrase are a bit of a mystery, and through all my trawlings on the net have discovered that the phrase was probably not coined by some wise old German engineer, but rather by a marketing agency.

However, the phrase in synonymous with German engineering prowess, and it is written that many english people detest the phrase culturally, as they think it carries overtones of previous wartime jibes.

Words to live by.
