IAB Comment- They've proven they have a supreme sense of humor and the presence of something on their vehicle from India's first SUV (Tata Safari) is appreciated and applauded by IAB, given the availability of plenty of foreign seats at the same cost, or Chinese crap seats at a much lower price.

Do Mother India proud! Do your college proud! We wish you the very best. Thank you for your participation on Indian Autos Blog.
