Same could be said for German cars, could it not? Yet many people still buy them even though the Germans did some horrific things in WW11?

What an earth has the war got to do with purchasing a product?

I have waited a day to respond to this. Was going to answer immediately but was so angry, I wanted to calm down. Your disregard, flippancy, and insensitivity for actual history is astounding. Yes, Germany "did some horrific things in WW2"

After WW2, the Allied Control Council determined many restrictions on the German economy, including the total ban on ship & aircraft manufacture, and of course, any type of munitions.

To allow the country to recover their economy, car manufacturing was permitted.

Many people to this day will not entertain a 'German' car because of their historical atrocities, of course, millions do buy them, and that is their decision alone.  Of course, according to you, the cars are all cr*p, so it's a moot point anyway...
