What Ian said.
You have to understand that it was hard to go from the in-house design of the spectacular if also too long in the tooth 900 (already very refined at birth as it was heavily based on the revolutionary 99), to a shake-n-bake GM-managed product that strongly resembled a Jelly Belly and drove decidedly... well, un-900 like. Lotta resentment. The new car did get ironed out eventually, maybe too little too late to compete. To be fair, 'taste' comes into play [insert own come back here].
