dont quote me . BUT. cars have been being designed as everything else . these days for a " LIFESPAN" i think 10 years is about the right number . as thats when a car isdeemed vintage , and parts become redundant.
with or without flappist's thread. this is becoming reality .
and further more . a little inside info suggests that the BA. was the 1st falcon designed accordingly.
this may explain why my EL futura just keeps going and going and going and going . whilst the GT . has had a paint respray on the front bumper after 18 months . at a warranty cost of 6K. timing chain tensioners, upgraded , because they were crap, and wouldnt last the warranty period! the ICC SHYTE ITSELF AND NEED A RECO'D CD STACKER. ( THAT IS ONE WITH THE ICC) - you wouldnt read about it . and a broken bonnet cable handle mount ( plastic molded dash bracket- ( not replacable) and broken plastic fuel cap release . that i repaired . this is on a car treated like part of the family . with less than 60 000 lady driven kms.
i think with or without a buy back scheme . cars are now being designed for A 10 year lifespan , and it would be in our best interest to get onboard . we still havent seen the old age electrical problems and hardware failures yet . and this is with a new concept in design
WAIT UNTIL THEY PERFECT IT . EURO emmissions updating only needs slight modifying to make previous standards illegal too . ( imagine that)

I ALSO TICKED GOOD IDEA BUT NEEDS MORE THOUGHT .
