I noticed they added a floral arrangement under the front. I wonder if it also came with a decorative display tucked under the engine compartment lid?

A friend of mine actually WANTS a Tata. I've got to show him this thread...

Every car in their model's life have caught fire, from the small economies to the luxurious models. While I'm certainly not going out and importing a TATA motor-carriage, unless we see a rash (and 4 cars out of hundreds of thousands is not,) then they're isolated incidents.

Honda's caught fire, Jensen's caught fire, Mercedes caught fire, Chevy's, the list goes on....

I thought our X5's had a history of spontaneous combustion? Some sort of electrical short in the engine bay?

Ford explorers too?

Im sure when Ferraris catch fire, its never a result of faulty manufacturing, so citing exotics proves nothing.

Plenty of high end cars have been catching fire over the years. Just because its a $300,000 Ferrari doesn't mean its less susceptible to catch fire than a $2,000 car. It would be arrogant to assume ferraris don't have have defects/recalls.

Well my point is that it is likely NOT due to a defect in the parts manufacturing or the build process.

These incidences are likely attributed to unusual events after the car has been built.

However in the case of Ford Explorers or even our X5's, the cause of the fire's were pinpointed to something that originated in the design room.

Equating price with safety was not my goal. I did however want to acknowledge that in the case of exotics, high price usually leads to low build volume, which means higher attention to detail on each vehicle produced.
