Fallacy of thrift, save money chintzing on those who allow you to make a superior product, until people aren't buying your product then wonder why you're not making profits.
That precise practice is what got GM in such a pickle in the 80s and 90s with their inferior products - release a half-baked product, upset your customers and lose sales... then improve it in a few years, but by then the damage is already done and nobody really cares anymore (take any GM minivan to use as an example). It so puzzles me to see Chrysler doing the exact same thing with this Journey (and the Avenger and Sebring, to name 2 others).
