Yup. Previous incarnation of a VW Golf had an engine compartment that fit together, and you could replace the headlight bulb in about 20 minutes with common tools. Current one has an engine compartment that fits together, and you can't replace the very same bulb unless you take half of the damn thing apart, and then you hit a snag, because the very last screw is unaccessible unless you're a nanobot, has a special nut, and some sort of seal guarding it. I suppose it does make sense if you have the whole workshop at your disposal and can disassemble and reassemble entire vehicles at will.
