I think one is the outgrowth of the other. With the burden of labor rates so high and foreign competition coming in they tried to do more with less. The could not adjust plant sizes or labor costs, etc... so they worked solely on cutting component costs as a means of staying in the game. The obvious result is patchwork cars.
