New designs! LOLIf I bought one car on my sixteenth birthday, and kept it all my life, manufacturers would not have a market for their newest designs.
The 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee versus 2011. The fuel gauge was moved from the left of the steering wheel to the right. What good was that. Of course it meant the panel of the instrument cluster was an entirely different part. The tail lights were shaped entirely different also.
I repaired hi-fi equipment before I switched to computers. 90% useless variations in that year after year too. Rearrange the knobs, change the color, add some new equalization controls and take them off two years later. Yeah some technological improvements did occur that got ballyhooed to the heavens. Maybe 10% of customers even understood them.
I have never owned a new car. Let someone else suck up the depreciation. The laws of physics do not change year after year. What were all of the changes for in the 50s and 60s before mileage and pollution became huge issues?
