The last 405's were reasonably well powered, but earlier cars were underpowered by US standards. Especially the diesels. When they left in '92, they just pulled up stakes and abandoned the market. All of the dealers I know of went bust and parts became scarce. The cars themselves deserved better, but their loss was unlamented and mostly unnoticed.
