That sounds more due to inflation. Instead of charging you more, they keep the price the same and give you less stuff. It's not unique to cars. Even food packages are getting smaller in weight of product and the price the same, or more. I've heard it described as "shrinkflation." For instance, a "pint" of Hagen Dazs ice cream has changed from 16oz (a pint) to 14oz in the last few months. > Many consumers may have noticed that popular food and beverage containers are shrinking along with their wallets, but that prices, alas, are not. Tropicana, for example, recently redesigned its large orange juice container, giving it an easy-pour lid—and the capacity to hold only 89 ounces, rather than its old 96 ounces. The price has stayed constant. In an email, Tropicana spokeswoman, Karen May, explained that the smaller size was needed as "the optimum configuration" for the new lid, adding, "Our consumer research indicates that, despite the smaller size, there was no change in the perceived value of the product because of the benefits of the added features." https://www.newsweek.com/food-packaging-shrinks-prices-stay-same-88345 https://www.newsweek.com/food-packaging-shrinks-prices-stay-...
