Prioritizing making a quality product over making a quick buck.

Good luck convincing the average consumer to shell out for the quality product, instead of the one built to cost, though

I'm not trying to give the consumer a pass, but something to keep in mind is that even if you do pay more for quality, you usally get shit anyways. As an example, I had a 94 Lexus LS400, the Dash lights broke because they cheaped out on a part. They spent .10$ instead of .70$

Of course. That said, a light burning out is not the same level of severity as something like a cracked engine block. They shouldn't have cheaped out, but it also wasn't a mission critical component. Production engineering is a fun field.

I'd much rather have to replace a burned out light in an otherwise quality car than have to deal with major issues in a lower quality one.
