Why is the car industry called car assembly rather than car manufacturing?

∙ 14y ago
In the past (quite a long time ago!) most car manufacturers actually made all the parts that went into the car, so they bought metal, plastic, wood, etc, and then made parts out of these materials, then made a car with the parts they had made.
These days most car companies buy parts made by other companies, and then "assemble" the parts into a car.
So they no longer "manufacture" a car, they "assemble" it.
