It's really more about the bottom line rather than performance, for tge most part. This results in vehicles that have compromises. This ultimately results in the creation of the aftermarket industry in an effort, by enthusiasts, to correct many compromises made by the manufacturers.

that makes sense but we can already see in this same exact model where that thought process was ignored. those prius tires are clearly not a function of bean counting as they are crazy expensive. that kind of thing can be seen throughout the car. aluminum pieces are expensive and wont really change the sales numbers. direct and port injections is not selling many cars either.
this car is likely being sold at the test drive. if these components would have increased the feel in a significant way, they would have been there. obviously this is all my opinion but still. :happy0180:
