a Nardi sterring wheel with Bride Zeta III and Taketa harness will solve the problem

Tata engineering chief Clive Hickman said the aim of the tests was to show that with basic modifications the present car could meet the existing safety regulations and to set the vehicle on course for a European version to be ready by 2012. “The basic car was never designed to come to Europe,” he said.
It's modified to meet the standards....

So basically, Tata is saying they don't like their own people as much as they like Europeans, and are will to kill off a few in their home markets with shit cars, but will try harder to protect Europeans.

Interesting marketing tactic.

But the cars still safer than riding a scooter in India. So they are improving the safety for people in India.

asian_XL 07-28-2009 02:53 PM
[racist joke]most of them wear a turban inside the car = safer[/racist joke]

yes, manic is right...a family of four in a car is safer than a family of four on a bike, you can't expect everyone can afford a volvo in india

if tata were to incorporate all these features into their domestic market version, i doubt the car would be affordable to the masses in india.
