Car Maufacturers keep changing the model designs too fast (vehicles, best, buy)

They really need to slow it down a little. For many consecutive years, you would could purchase many lines of vehicles that were pretty similar for years. This helped remove all defect items from the line-ups.

Now, they are switching the designs, engines, etc, they "all" tend to have a bunch of trouble.

Car design - Ford 1948 - 2000. Chevy - same. Buick - same. Ad infinitum. Change, change, change. It's a constant.

I'm honestly trying to think of the cars you're talking about. Enlighten me, please. What am I missing?

BMW's body styles are on a 7 year cycle.

I agree with this statement, but I think all the changes are for the best. For instance, in the last few years, car manufactuers have been trying to make their vehicles more fuel-efficient in order to save the environment. To do this, they change their vehicles often because they come up with better ways to make their vehicles be better for the environment and use less gasoline. These days, buyers are also expecting more from their vehicles. Today's buyers have high expectations from car makers and make their desicions based on which car is the most reliable, has the most value for their money, and which one is best for their lifestyle. Car manufactuers are always competing to sell more cars than the other, therefore they are always coming up with something new to make buyers want to like their vehicles and buy them.

Agreed. Honda is bad with this. Ford doesn't change their often enough though. Man, like them, but ford is one stodgey company.
