Remember, this was the early 70s.

The Toyota Corona was assembled well, from cheap parts, by people who've never exceeded 30 mph.

The BMW was assembled well, from expensive parts, by people who love to drive, but rarely drive under 30 mph.

Fiats were assembled poorly with cheap parts, by people who've never owned a car, but would all drive Ferrari's if they could.
