This same practice has long been done in every other industry.
And for those of you using the car/engine example, would it be fair to say that when you buy a cheap chevy sedan it should perform on par with a vette just because they may use the same block?
And how do you justify the premium of a Rolex?

Dont remember the last time that a "cheap chevy sedan had a vette block.
Poor analogy. Would you be pissed if you bought a vette and found it to be slower that a 4 year old vette.
How do i justify a rolex. Easy. its not a piece of shit.
