...bad management and maybe worse. Corbin Motors had more than enough orders to make the business viable by now. The big problem was that every vehicle they shipped had to be returned for repairs, primarily because they didn't engineer them correctly from the start.
Don't get me wrong--I wanted the company to succeed. But it's hard to in effect ship two cars when you only sell one. Compound that with their inability to deliver cars that were paid for, and with inexperienced management, and the bankruptcy is not surprising, but still disappointing. It's still to be decided if management was just incompetent or worse.
