[QUOTE="Lee36328, post: 120609, member: 113"] Conspiracy theory time.... Which is a better business model - engineer the car to last forever, or just good enough to get the customer to buy, but then requiring regular maintenance to keep it running? Or better yet, engineer the first few models superbly to build up a brand following, and subsequently start substituting with lots of plastic, aluminium, etc... in the name of 'light weight'... and watch the car maintenance business grow... For example, ever wonder why the lower arm bush of the e46 cannot be replaced without replacing the entire lower arm unlike the previous models? Que twilight zone music.... [/QUOTE]
