Unibody - Welded or Glued?

Just like the subject line says, is the unibody frame that are used for our vehicles welded or glued?

Welds used on cars, glue on models from the hobby shop. Even with all the shake, rattles and what have you they are welded.

i think gm did use body sealer, but i am not sure how that works; this is just a guess but i would think that would go over the welds to seal the body panels together.

i can only think of a handful of cars that are glued together, and they come from makers like lotus, bugatti, ect.
