They still associate the word with backwards, crap dealers and using lots of fuel. It just has too much tarnish and bad vibe associated with it in the eyes of the public at large. Sad, but I reckon that is the crux of the problem.

That is always the cop-out excuse, pretending that the problem is some pshycological issue that will never be resolved. The fact is, its just not the car people want for the price. Cars like the Kia Sportage used to be a heap of crap and now sells its pants off, Hyundai used to be a laughing stock and now its range is outblitzing the competition.
Never-underestimate the ability of the right product at the right price to get sales results.
