If you hit an object or wall, thats your fault and pay the damages. I'd rather drive a nice looking car than one with an long ass nose and ass so i can save a few bucks if i hit something at 5mph.
It has more to do with insurance. If the car does not pass the 5 mph test then it will be a write-off in a minor bumper accident. If it passes then there is less of a liability with the insurance companies. In Canada the bumper laws used to be at 8 mph until the law was harmonized to Euro and US standards.

I believe many parts of a plane are also glued together rather than welded/riveted.

Someone is still gonna buy it thinking that since Tata makes Jags, their other cars should not be too bad. Similar to Smart & MB

Honda claims the body is 50% more rigid than the previous Japan-only DC5 Integra Type R, and the new model features an independent rear suspension rather than the torsion beam configuration used on the latest European Civic Type-R.[2] To save weight, aluminum is used extensively and bonded with adhesive instead of welded.

I would just buy a used fit/smart/yaris or anything in that class for under 10k before I buy that car!

This is something I can see myself buying my mother, strangely enough. I'd imagine it'd be even easier to drive than a Corolla.

if its 8k after taxes and a years worth of insurance, it might be worth it...
