If you give drawings for a good design to someone that doesn't know what
they are doing, or doesn't care, and they build it from crappy material
with bad paint and they don't follow the tolerances, then it will become
a bad car.  The Fiat 124 was a rather good car at the time.  Of course
fiat only gave them the design when they were done using it so it was
already rather old by then.

I still can't believe Lada took the design and shortened it and made it
taller and made that ugly little 4x4 thing.
