Well I hope you're happy now that an auto manufacturer can be sued because they made the car used as a getaway vehicle in a bank robbery.
Hardly.
Unless the auto manufacturer promotes the car as a getaway vehicle as shown by clear expression and other affirmative steps to encourge its use as getaway vehicle.
Not a logical comparison.
