I however do. Robots may torque bolts but most of the assembly is still done by people. They are not always highly trained or even skilled. The people that make the parts are usually even less skilled and trained. People like to play with the urban legend that Japanese cars are built better than all the rest. That has not been accurate in the last 30 years.
