I always had this intrinsic feeling that Airbus is technologically superior to Boeing in many aspects, could be ill founded and not true.
Like, the German automobiles be it BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Audi are regarded as superior in engineering and design, erogonomics to US makes of GM, Ford, Chevrolet and others.
But comparing car makes to Airliners does makes some sense only.
It depends on what one considers as 'good engineering'. German/European brands frequently try to mint the 'engineering' word in their ads for cars in India. However their cars have a reputation for being unreliable. Solidly built, safe, good to drive, but unreliable. Is that good engineering. Probably good enough. Japanese cars are known to be not that well built, but supremely reliable. Is that also good engineering? Yes.
