Yes but when a pack of dogs is chasing you you don't slow down...Because the quality of the bottom end has massively closed up to the top end, for the perceptive ability of about 80% of the population, for most areas.
At work we call this “the race to the bottom”. What happens is, each manufacturer benchmarks every other competitor’s model at that grade. If one has successfully launched without a particular feature (or deleted a feature that customers don’t care about, eg cigarette lighter inserts in the 12V socket) then that becomes justification for all the others to do the same.Yes but when a pack of dogs is chasing you you don't slow down...
Why on earth cheapen the brand with fake leather and allow the chasing pack to get closer?

It isn’t what the whole point of enriching the customer experience is about.
My point about the bottom end of “quality” in its various guises closing up to the top end was more in the realm of quality per se across the various technologies, not between OEMs. Say, infotainment now. What a bottom end infotainment system can do now (GPS, streaming, Bluetooth, voice command etc) isn’t really much different to what top end ones can do. 20 years ago the difference was AM/FM vs GPS, CD, phone connectivity... a whole world of difference.
