"They do not build cars like they used too" During the 1970 and 80's that was a common refrain. Planned obsolescence either by purpose or practice infected the auto industry. However we have come a long long way since then.
First vehicles are exponentially safer. Proving that size is only part of the safety equation.
Secondly for some brands rust is sleeping. In particular Honda, European Brands, and Toyota have virtually eliminated rust.
Third the power-plant has not only become essentially maintenance free, its power and efficiency have soared. While the Chey Volt pioneered a better hybrid, it may be Honda that reaps the rewards.
Fourth the creator comforts, HVAC, seats, and entertainment would have been considered Sci Fi twenty years ago.
"Technology properly advanced is indistinguishable from magic." In 2013 every new vehicle has serious magic.
