No kidding. This is a really bad move. No more last minute engineering changes. So if they figure out a way to improve something or fix a problem before it hits the customer it will have to wait for a refresh. This is only going to make Cerbyler's current embarrassing lack of quality even worse. You don't get better quality interiors and good reliability scores by squeezing your parts suppliers to build the same parts for 25% less money. Ford and GM seem to be making the right choices to turn things around. Cerbyler on the other hand seems to be making some huge mistakes that are going to sink the company. You can get away with building crap for awhile but sooner or later it is going to catch up to you.
