It's amazing how "bean counters" could override engineering decisions. Due to NHTSA and lawsuits the "bean counters" wised up (somewhat) and take into consideration the possibility of litigation if they make the wrong decision (risk assessment). Customer satisfaction also has a lot to do with it. The Japanese, with their Quality Control methods and philosophy, really turned Detroit and European car manufacturers upside down.
