Even if you take the 5 fastest runners in the world, run a race, one wins. I believe Ford's plant in India, was sold to TATA motors-but Tata is retooling to produce something else. One thing about Tata, they make a lot of vehicles.

Specific to the cooling passage design, itt wouldn't make any difference where it was built...it's just a failure waiting to happen....just outside of warranty
