i don't think it's something about jap culture. probably even they streamline the supply chain for an item, take the wire harness for example. It may still unable to justify the cost delta of having different wire harness. that also taking the consideration of managing inventory and supplier negotiation sort of stuff. Being a profit oriented company like perodua, i'm pretty sure they do think about it.
and that's why they have different model trim ma, purposely make a gap between X and Advance, else everybody go buy X then advance model eat sand already.
I get what you mean, wire harness is just one example. An obvious example would be Premium X and Advance Steering wheel. Instead of wrapping the Premium X steering with leather for Advance model they used a different model altogether, hence if they want to be cost effective why do this.and that's why they have different model trim ma, purposely make a gap between X and Advance, else everybody go buy X then advance model eat sand already.
Different trim model can be done by omitting certain features.
I've read an article somewhere that car manufacturers actually make more money by selling spares than from the cars itself.
Hypothetically, if Bezza was made modular and I want to "upgrade" from Premium X to Advance by buying parts later, the total cost would be far more expensive than buying Advance straight away.
The most important upgrade that I wish for my Premium X is to be able to add VSC. Alas its just a dream for me....
Sorry for the long post... Cheers...
