There's no Great Evil conspiracy against consumers within engineering, manufacturing and supply. Just the many tradeoffs incurred to satisfy diverse tastes, priorities and wallets. But first comes all the insatiable Gummint eggsperts, nanny-staters and usual suspects.

Read a book a while ago called "Tuesdays with Morrie". It gave me a decent incite into that horrible disease. I wouldn't wish that on anybody.

Chris was never going to last at Aunty being a real journo and reporter on fickle energy. You have to check your brain out and feel the vibe. LOL.

Probably because a 200 or 300 drives about 20 times nicer than a troopy, has all the creature comforts and electronics that a modern family want.

At a GUESS, it probably had a tune and a few engine mods on it thats why they get no Warranty. Hopefully the 6 cylinder engine is cheaper than the 8, i know their pain

Discussed here-
https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/3jm6nq5m
and an interesting take here via one commenter-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9Oo15GY-PQ

Basically the ICE is on the limits of engineering providing performance and economy we'd come to expect whilst trying to meet ever tougher emissions designed to drive us all into battery cars. The cost is unforgiving with lack of attention to servicing and maintenance with longevity suffering. Rank ignorance of the aforesaid pushing them to the limit nowadays and utter madness going beyond it with yesterday's modding and expecting mummy to kiss it all better  :'(
