Priceless!]]>Jan 10th 2008 2:46AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/10/what-2-500-buys-in-india-tata-nano-unveiled/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/10/what-2-500-buys-in-india-tata-nano-unveiled/
If they would buy and operate American style cars and trucks in large numbers, the demand for oil would skyrocket. $100 per barrel would suddenly sound like a bargain, and we'd soon have gas prices of $8/gallon like the Europeans have now.]]>Jan 10th 2008 3:42AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/10/what-2-500-buys-in-india-tata-nano-unveiled/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/10/what-2-500-buys-in-india-tata-nano-unveiled/

BTW, how fast do you think this could go with 5 people in it? 25MPH, tops? (not that this will be driven on a highway)]]>Jan 10th 2008 9:46AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/10/what-2-500-buys-in-india-tata-nano-unveiled/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/10/what-2-500-buys-in-india-tata-nano-unveiled/What do you think is going to happen to the price of gas when suddenly 1,000,000 more people can afford to buy a car instead of taking their motorcycle or bycicle? Not to mention the severe increase in emmisions you will see (literally...)

But hey, I am sure it is America's fault, right?]]>Jan 10th 2008 11:36AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/10/what-2-500-buys-in-india-tata-nano-unveiled/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/10/what-2-500-buys-in-india-tata-nano-unveiled/What do you think is going to happen to the price of gas when suddenly 1,000,000 more people can afford to buy a car instead of taking their motorcycle or bycicle?

I have a copy of a news segment from a guy in Texas who could run a car off of water only!

In areas such as India and other parts of the world the vehicle will cost the equivalent of one to several years of annual earnings thereby making family transportation available to many. Driving conditions in many parts of the world are very different to those in North America; anybody who has visited such places as Sri Lanka, India, araound parts of the Mediteranean etc. will understand that.
The Nano also will use much less gasoline than most vehicles; up to 50 miles per gallon!
Another indication that US designed 'monster' vehicles are not the best for all parts of the world and indicated by the decline of US auto manufacturers is the increasing predominace of other world car manufacturers such as Toyota, Nissan and Chinese brands.
The predominance of Volvo, Tata, Leyland, and other trucks in many parts of the world is, for example, an indicator that the North American truck product is not the best answer everywhere.
It is somewhat disappointing that the North American car truck industry is not more flexible?
Our experience also is that even Japanese designed products manufactured/assembled in the USA have slightly lower quality than supposedly identical vehicles actually manufactured in Japan! So the 'quality' factor is also present when North american vehicles are to compete with others! ]]>Jan 10th 2008 5:38AM
