Which year/decade would you say planned obsolescence became common

Not sure, fortunately there's a big difference between a 5 year old car, and a five your old phone, the five year old car is still pretty new if you consider how long cars last vs how long phones/laptops last

the wrc yaris looks cool af, i would buy one if they came with awd from the factory

Toyota is planning to do a wrc inspired yaris production car. The rumor says it will be about 200hp.

>>16690255
>fortunately there's a big difference between a 5 year old car, and a five your old phone

that gap is getting smaller every new model year

1920s with it really taking off in the 50s

The year I always hear from people is 1995. No idea why though.

>>16690240
with the introduction of non serviceable modules
.eg life time fluid and bearings
also headlight modules as opposed to assembly's

another thing is that bumpers are integral to the bodywork now
where in the past they were cheep and sacrificial

>>16690240
Probably the 50's.

>>16690649

>>16690240
Planned obsolescence isn't a thing. They do cut corners to meet profit goals and save weight but they can't/don't engineer it to fail in x amount of time.

About the time Henry Ford found that people had stopped buying new Model Ts because they already had one.

>>16690327
Yes, because phones are getting more durable and batteries are getting better.
American ''''''cars'''''' get more fragile every year.

>>16690240
GM were doing it in the 50s

>>16690255
I don't know mate, I bought a samsung galaxy S1 when I was 17. I only recently replaced it with a galaxy s5. Mostly because I had the first gen S1, which did not have a flash

>>16691418
They certainly can't fucking think straight. Look at audi with that retarded RS4 V8 engine. Thinking chains are lifetime items. Look at a motorcycle's final drive chain. Sure it gets alot more abuse but it should be fairly evident that even overengineered chains will break down.

Also, Porsche's IMS bearing memery. A fucking sealed IMS bearing cannot be a lifetime item due to heat.

I'm not saying it's willfull neglect, but it seems like there is less rigorous QC analysis of components

Only luxo brands do "planned obsolesence" but I think it is mostly to keep poor people from driving their cars used. Lux car buyers upgrade every 1 - 3 years regardless of the car's condition.

>>16690240
Mid-90's when BMW first started pushing the notion of recyclable cars over cars built to last ages.

>>16693632
Cars today last longer than ever with with less maintenance.

Cars used to be considered old if they had 100k miles. Any non luxury car built and sold today will hit 200k with basic maintenance which mostly means oil changes.

I'd say the late 80's / early 90's is when planned obsolescence got into full swing.

>>16691237
he meant they're essentially a part of the body work now. as opposed to being a seperate piece from the body entirely.
