For the love of God, don't bring up these subjects on any other general automotive forum as you will be severely, and soundly flamed, by the young and trendy.
I recently brought up the subject, actually on a gear head forum, about how todays vehicles are getting overly complicated. You would have thought I called someone mother a whore.
For example of over complication, I found out the motor mounts on my 05 Nissan are ELECTRIC!!!!! They are supposed to reduce engine vibration at idle.
So what is the problem you ask?, Well, when these electric motor mounts go out they tend to kill the ECU!!!!
Not to mention electronic throttle bodies. I understand the reason behind stuff like electronic throttle bodies as in it makes it easier for the car makers as you don't have to design a separate throttle linkage for each different car/engine combo, but Hell the cables, and linkages were so easy to repair, not to mention one less thing to have to trouble shoot when a problem occurs.
I think the ultimate goal for car makers is to have cars that have to be taken to the dealership for any repairs.
