I mean...really think about what you said...it is your opinion. The masses

Giant took over in the last 2 years.


sheesh
Actually, I never said they were not successful. All I said was that I believe the name has held them back from where they possibly could be. I would say the same about Volkswagen, they build a great product, but there is resistance, IMO, to the line becuse of the name "peoples car", that Honda or Toyota does not have to contend with.
