What is it that tends to define the typical specification of cars

Some countries I have been to do not seem to have reversing sensors
over a
time when they have become commonplace in the UK.

Cruise Control whilst unusual in the UK is very common across all
classes
of car in other countries.

I suppose other additions like GPS / SatNav are a bit country specific.


I can see how an Importer of one brand would make a decision, but this
seems to go across brands.

All of these things are available everywhere as options - even on low
end cars.

As a manufacture fit they are most certainly not available on low end
cars.



I'm not sure which low end cars you have in mind, but thinks like power
steering, anti-lock brakes, air conditioning, etc. - which were at one
time only available on luxury cars - are now available either by default
or as factory fit options on pretty much everything.

we were talking parking sensors and cruise

try finding a low end car which offers you both (either standard fit or a
manufacturer option), finding one or the other is hard enough.

The annoying thing is that these are much easier to make as an after market
modification than ABS, Air Con and Power Steering would be, but see my
previous comment re insurance
