I believe it's for the exact same reason other Big Companies are incapable of delivering anything "exciting":
1. Soulless design-by-committee.
2. Complex internal politics - "Cool idea you have there with the Prius, but I don't want to see it become too successful and eat into the sales of the Corolla. We need to sell 200k Corollas or I don't get my bonus".
3. The "proven" technique of having focus groups with a diverse crowd of aged-35+ white suburban soccer moms tell you what features they value in a car the most.
- MagnumOpus 8y agoThat, but also the aim to serve the mass market rather than the 1%, and therefore the need to produce a car that is profitable when sold for 25k rather than 65k.
