Anyone else have a problem with this?

The Lotus Elise has it's panels glued, they aren't held on by bolts, rivets or clips. Would you have a problem with one of them?

I googled it, yes it's glued, but it's also riveted.

Now, if that Tata is also riveted, then I won't have a problem.

Well there you go, I was under the impression that it was just glued.

dude, it is a tata, there is no chance it will be safe enough to import to the USA.

BTW, they also had electric cars in the late 1800's, and steam powered cars. Everything old is new again.
