I have a management theory called the “Lucky Charms” syndrome.
The cereal has not changed in over 50 years but every now and then they come up with “Now with (fill in new color) (fill in new geometric shape).” In other words cosmetic changes made for the purposes of “glitz” only.
I find that a lot of automobile manufacturers fall into this same syndrome. While there have been many safety and efficiency improvements in automobiles over the past 50 years, most of the changes are cosmetic.
I appreciate that my car gets 10 mpg more than my first car did and I’ve never put my anti-skid brakes to the test, but I am glad I have them. Ditto for air bags. I don’t have blind side warning, but I would appreciate it.,
I don’t care that my car doesn’t have 92 cup holders, a seat warmer, a CD player that can hold 25 CDs, WIFI or a built-in GPS that will become obsolete when the wireless carriers upgrade to LXII-G.
AND … I can do my own parallel parking, thank you.
