I relate this to what Cadillac did in the very early 80's. There was this company called Toyota that was building a "luxury" car. The Luxury car was new and folks tried it out. Found out that it rode good, handled great, had good paint, did not leak oil, the transmission was a good shifter, and the fit and finish was, well, just about perfect.

So Cadillac, started chasing this market that was escaping them. (remember the 8-6-4, the 4100 oil leaker, the 4sp that you needed 3 of to just get thru the first year) However, because of the quality of the Cadillac at the time, it could not compare to this "luxury" car from some overseas car maker.

Thus, Lexus became a success. We all know what happened to GM. If Keystone does not build quality into the new product, they only need to look back at history.
