If a nameplate or brand has a bad reputation, people won't even step into the showroom.

Quite interesting that you bring up build quality. As today someone at work was asking me about my G6ET and what the build quality was like.As on the weekend he had been to look at G6 50th Anniversary (he currently owns a Aurion Sportivo ZR6) The thing that struck him was that when the salesman opened the bonnet all the engine block was rusty and even the bellhousing.
He said that he understands that it doesn't affect the way the cars drives at all but just doesn't give a good look to how the car is built.
