Hello Scotty and the community how's everyone? So my brother asked me a good question and I couldn't answer it cause I didn't know so I thought I'd get his question asked here. How come all manufacturers don't keep engines used in past history? For example Honda how come the 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8L 4 Cylinder engines don't exist anymore? How come they didn't keep and improve those 3 engines and still use to this day? Honestly I thought it was a good question cause I've always wondered myself.
The older designs frequently are unable to meet the increasingly stringent demands of regulatory compliance.
Interesting. There were some decent past history engines I wish still existed. Take the 1.7L 4 Cylinder engine with the 01-05 Honda Civic for example those were decent engines and were easy to work on if problems occurred plus had decent fuel economy.
Technological progress. Forever changing and marching onward. Things improve: materials, metallurgy, manufacturing, assembly etc..
We just find better (and cheaper) ways of doing things.
Why didn't you keep your tube TV?
I kept my tube TVs. 🙂
they have nicer colors, right. But they take up so much space and weigh a ton.
I'm watching one right now playing in the background. Being a cheapskate, I never replace anything that still works and insist on wringing the last drop of value out of every purchase. (With my cars the next owner is always the junkyard.)
yes I'm always the last owner of my cars too. That TV might go to your grave with you though.
I had to look up what that was {black}:afraid:
1. Regulatory/Emissions Requirements
2. Storage and Logistical Issues
3. Outdated w/No Market
4. Recouping R&D Costs on New Motors Requires Actually Selling Them
5. Sheer Cost of Continual Production
6. Lack of Parts/Support From Suppliers
It's a long list.
Hmmmm... interesting.
We don’t use ADSL anymore. So we can make phone calls while we surfing on internet
Also, humans like shiny, new things. It doesn't matter if they're better or worse, it needs to be new and exciting. This is why car companies have to release new models EVERY YEAR, even if it's just a slight change to the appearance.
