Absolutely lots! A lot of deliberate engineering short cuts are taken that are yet to come to light. Look at Ford with their power**** transmissions and engine failures on the likes of the RS for a recent big one.

People buy the brands now just because of the brand and not on quality of product convinced that what once was a premium brand for several reasons, is now very average at best.
