You might want to reconsider making that bet. Based on the many factory photos that many of us have seen and studied, that really is not an accurate statement. Because of the sheer amount of vehicles being manufactured each day, and because of the many fixtures & jigs used during assembly, everything fit "very well" (correctly).

Shoddy construction never lasts very long, ...and notice how well these cars have stood the test of time.

May be but the thing is, while I personally do not enjoy, --nor care to work on electronic controls and in tight places, today's kid don't know any better, so they dive right in on the "rice rockets" and tuner cars cramming all kinds of "plumbing" (turbos, intercoolers, tubes, etc.) in these narrow spaces like its no big deal.

The true question might be, WHAT will be popular 30-40 years from now that everyone will be wanting to restore? A Prius???
