Any comments, guys?
The Costs Cutting must have come with Tata's not having to re-invent the wheel for ex: In case of the Power Window motor's !- Remember the olden day's where the window would refuse to go up or need a extra hand in going up ...!!

So i wouldn't be very surprised if they have'nt done anything except for looking at their Old Part's bin to save cost ...
