Sorry, but they still have, at least for all the vw group brands, bmw and mercedes, one of the best assembly quality and use very high quality and premium feeling materials on the higher end of their cars, but still use pretty durable and high quality plastics for the rest of the materials... I'd honestly like to know why you are saying this, unless it's because you have an opel, and, guess what, opel is not owned by a german group, but by a french one...
Because my mother's 2008 BMW 116i was the worst quality car our family ever had (and we have had a lot of cars from Ladas to Lancias to Chryslers, and Opels too). Everything was wrong with it - engine, steering, interior, airbags. If anything, it was bought new and serviced only at the official dealership.
Maybe bmw has goten worse over time, but I can still with assure you with my experience that at least vw's group car are good quality cars...
Build quality ≠ Perceived quality - German car excel at the latter. Not necessarily at the former. They look expensive and well appointed but... plastic is plastic. Build quality ≠ Reliabilty - A lot of solidly built cars later prove to be troublesome because of faulty subparts and electric gremlins that might have nothing to do with construction.
My favorite car name is the Mohs Ostentatienne Opera Sedan. Just saying it makes you feel... ...insane
Was supposed to be named after the Egyptian god, not the terrorist group, and the fact that their name is supposed to be more formally, ISIL. OT: Mitsubishi Pajero In some countries such as Spain, Philippines, and both South and North America, the SUV is badged as a Montero, the reason why is because the word "Pajero" means "Liar" in El Salvador, and in Spain, Pajero means "Masturbating", other translations also have "Tiresome idiot" as well.
Opel Grandland and Crossland X. I think Opel should named these cars differently to follow the name pattern (ending with an A (Astra, Corsa, Insignia, etc.)).
Still, that's pretty bothersome if you have to pick that name in this age. If it was, say 1972, it would've been easily associated with the god, but doing it at the 21st Century is as good as naming an car after an cancer in the 80s. There's actually an meme surrounding this car, and yes, it would fit okay with an pick-up. They could've named the vehicle something else, like Horus or something like that. OT: This is the Nissan Rasheen. The name somewhat has different interpretations, though here is one. http://www.sevenreflections.com/name/rasheen/ Some descriptions fit, others don't. I'm mixed for this name choice, so I'm in between for this vehicle. --- Post updated --- Just to correct, but it's spelled "Pajero". Also, I found an source that does mention what @NismoR35 mentioned in his post: http://www.bbc.co.uk/languages/yoursay/weird_words/spanish/mitsubishi_driven_by_.shtml

Yeah yeah my bad! Hahaha. I learned in my actual Spanish class that the word "Pájaro" is most definitely bird but I guess I that read wrong. My bad!
I searched Hayaku on that as well, and it's as strange as anything else. Everyone makes mistakes, it's an common thing.
Subaru Baja. Subaru Brat. Which one sounds utterly off? [I'm going for the Baja. What screams Baja more than an early 2000s Subaru compact utility vehicle that happens to be inspired by rally-race trucks, yet it succeeds the Brat.]
