Every car company is different and the ALL break, eventually, so this is not advocating to any other particular brand.
If the money went into stuff, how come Hyunday was able to offer more equipment than any other competitor at a fraction of the cost years ago? what's the story today? they became reliable and now compete head to head with all the other cars in their class at almost the same cost...and they do sell...
You don't pay more for stuff...a stipped down Audi is still more expensive than a loaded Accord...not to say that one is better than the other.
You are right saying that more expensive materials and newer technology makes it into more expensive cars, but the root of the question is why do they put those materials there? the obvious answer is that they should be better in some sort of way (reliability, feel to the touch, longevity, etc).
If you had two of the SAME things, and they asked more money for one, would you expect that one to be better in a way?
