Heh.

Keep in mind that when the automakers cheapen down the add-on
accessories, word gets out and people stop buying them.  Of course,
the temptation is great for the MBA's to find some way to cheapen
down the design and in the past a lot of automakers have given in
to temptation (Ford with it's disintegrating plastic intake manifolds,
for example) but while they often get away with it on the required parts
of the vehicle, more times than not when they do it to the accessories
it burns them.  For example the auto aftermarket radio industry
wouldn't exist if automakers hadn't cut corners on car radios, and
the radio is a very high margin and profitable accessory for an automaker.
