please dont be ignorant and post something that bashes a company. especially when you havent owned a car of theirs. reputation means nothing. look at the tmaxx, its got a reputation for being brittle, slow and pain in the butt to work on. but what does everyone and their grandmother have? reputation does not always mean it is the best or worst.

But...reputation has EVERYTHING to do with it. If you've proven to put out subquality products or copycat products in ANY market then are the consumers going to buy your product or even look twice at it? No, they won't. To undig yourself out of a less than desirable reputation, you have to produce cars that are good...consistently...and you have to be able to think for yourself...not just rip someone else's idea and creation.
