That's actually not true. I know of at least one American automaker that pays such close attention to detail these days, that for every screw on the car they have a torque wrench which has a light illuminate when exactly the correct torque has been applied. Renault, a European automaker, cheaped out on hood clips on the Clio, and people have almost been killed when the hood flies open on the highway and smashes into the windshield. Is that quality?
