There are products like computers and TVs that keep getting better and cheaper, and there are products that decline in quality. I have noticed some foods decline in quality. In order to keep the price the same, the quality drops. Macaroni and cheese is one example. The big brand had the nice yellow cheese powder, while the knockoffs had orange chalky-looking cheese powder. Now the big brand has the same low-quality cheese powder. Then a "premium" brand is added which gives you the same quality you used to get in the older version of the product.
Cars may be getting smaller, but the quality has increased, or at least the reliability. A car making it to 100,000 miles used to be noteworthy, now a car is just getting started. You can have a car with 200,000 miles, and someone will still want to buy it.
