Feels like a throwback video and I’m here for it

I worked in engineering for 10 years on an assembly line. What most people don't realize about car manufacturers is that they almost exclusively assemble parts bought from suppliers, and they all have a finite choice of suppliers. That includes engine blocks in most cases (ok high end cars might be different there). No car manufacturer is making bodywork, machining engine blocks, cam shafts, gearboxes, electronic components, cutting glass, molding plastics etc. It would be impossible. They just order from suppliers and put it all together. That's just what manufacturing is. 😂

I honestly wish manufacturers would share more parts. Not necessarily for high end flagship models, but for the more common stuff, it would push prices lower, help them make more profit and massively improve maintainability. I really wish there was one car out there made only of off-the-shelf parts and completely open source. There are a few concepts, but no production cars yet.

Now even the STI is dead and they all run off to buy a Toyota Zupra(funny they hated it for being a BMW as well). People will always hate whatever they gonna hate. And in 20 years, all the gasoline JDM cars will be gone, so what cars will they hate then?

There is one particularly egregious case of parts bin sharing, and it's the first generation, pre-facelift, Land Rover Discovery. The headlights were from a Freight Rover Sherpa, the taillights were from an Austin Maestro Van, the chassis, door frames, and even most of the glass was from a first generation Range Rover, as were the axles, transfer case and the manual gearbox. A lot of the switchgear was from an Austin Montego, the door handles were from a Morris Marina, the heater vents from an Austin Metro. Even the V8 petrol was from the Range Rover, albeit earlier versions. The only new things were the bodywork outer skins, the roof and taildoor, some of the trim, and the 200 Tdi engine. In fact, the parts-bin sharing was done on such a cheap level, a lot of components still had the branding from the vehicle they were taken from!
