which forces you to take the car to the dealer and pay dealer prices for repairs because most everyday mechanics don't wanna waste their time ripping off some plastic cover just to get to your sparkplugs.

i think some cars are continually improving while others are just dying a slow painful death... the new honda element would've been massive ten years ago when range rovers were just getting into style... now it's just another automaker's desparate stab at pulling some of the suv market their way. that is normally the case with cars that looked good on paper and flopped off the assembly line.
