Which forms of cost-cutting are too far?

Last week, I made a post about how I thought (and still think) that luxury pickups and full-size SUVs should not be offered with RWD and should just have 4WD as standard equipment. My reasoning was that these things already cost so much money and have massive profit margins; it just seems cheap that 4WD isn't standard. Since my opinion was a little controversial as many people seemed in favor of paying extra for 4WD on loaded trucks, I was wondering what exact forms of cost-cutting do you see in cars today that seem excessive. For me, I honestly think it is ridiculous when cars don't have seatback pockets behind the driver's seat. This is insane to me, as it would probably only cost the company a few dollars per car. Hoods that stay up on their own is another one that bothers me. What other forms of cost-cutting would you like to see disappear?
