They must all have reached nirvana when they realized they could build in planned obsolescence straight into the platform. No more replacing a tiny belt, now they get to sell a brand new car when the battery goes bad!

I really hope that this regulation from the EU stick and it doesn't get shut down by Germany as usual when they act as an extension of the auto-industry.
