Re: I don't really see the problem
@Chz "It allows the manufacturer to drastically reduce the number of models they have to produce"
No it really doesn't. Adding seat heating £350 for a one off payment to every car in the model range means they have to produce only one seat before they upholster it. But they have added a £350 item to every car in the model range. Over the run of the model there going to be a huge number of cars that will never have the feature activated. All that waste to have 1 instead of base seats.
Not much of a saving in variants of a car that will come off the line. When there are 12 different upholstery choices, 13 paint choices, 6 engine choices and 5 wheel choices. Follow link bellow.
