As for your second statement, that's a conclusion that some here have jumped to, but if believing that helps you sleep at night then so be it.

Defending Daihatsu just to get at me is really scraping the bottom of the barrel though.

Not defending Daihatsu, their cars don't appeal to me at all, but the folks in highly populated countries with terrible traffic congestion obviously buy these cars, 1,116, 016 to be precise, in the last year alone.
These little buzz boxes aren't the ideal mode of transportation over our wide brown land, but that doesn't mean the same world over.

We used to have an Applause as a second car...it drove well, build quality was very good and was super reliable. Long story but I ended up doing my cams OLT in it....it embarrassed a lot of far more powerful cars around Oran park.
