so this means they’ll be cutting quality.

Exactly where do you get the idea that high priced cars are higher quality? Look at real world reliability rankings, there is actually an inverse correlation.

That means more expensive vehicles tend to be less reliable. See Land Rover.

Jeep is selling cars that start at $100,000 and if you think those are quality cars, I have a wide variety of bridges I would like for you to look at and consider for future investments

I doubt this is true anymore but it used to be that BMW made half their profit from the 5 series despite the 3 series dramatically outselling it. The 5 series barely cost more to produce but sold for much more.
