I've heard anecdotal stories of Mexican built Benotto frames supposedly cracking in areas where the brazier overheated the tubes/lugs. But does that mean all Mexican built Benottos crack?.....I doubt it... and I figure that Benotto caught this problem soon enough and corrected it if there wa even a problem.
Frankly, I think the general negative view on the Mexican Benotto frames being inferior to the Euro built ones is similar to the way many VW fans prefer the ones built in Europe to the one built in Mexico..... My POS, Belgian built 97 Passat GLX VR6 sure threw that theory out the window....German Engineering indeed....
