> loose fits, and an interior that rattles until it drives one to violence

Confirmed. Friends in the car maintenance business have witnessed for years a quality fall (materials etc).

"Infotainment", I hope I will not have the experience (apart maybe from removing some), but my last car was the first one with a sound system that hissed.

I watch Sandy Munro sometimes. His comments on how to cut costs sometimes sound brilliant, and sometimes sound like a race to the bottom. I suspect that's the problem: even the experts don't know what the consequences of a certain cost cutting measure is.

At a polar opposite, I'm reminded of the wonder of walking across the Brooklyn bridge and thinking, "they don't make them like this anymore".

Wait until you read how many people died building the BB and how much it costs to maintain it.

Althought we did learn a lot about the affects of pressure on the human body which is cool.
