Impressed!
TATA's Nano: $2500
Take your family and all their relatives around town at 50 MPG:
Priceless!

We should be glad they are making economic vehicles for this part of the world.
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.

I dig the 10" rims and the criss-cross wipers.
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)

Um, Nicole:
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?

I see Nicole's point. Forget India, Americans shouldn't be driving American style cars. Who is the worlds largest greenhouse gas emitter currently? And who is the second largest emitter? From which country do Americans buy the most imported products? So, yes, Mike it IS mostly America's fault.
PS: That Tata car is garbage.

Louis, China surpassed the US in carbon emissions over half a year ago. (That's mostly due to their coal power plants n stuff, though)

Where can I buy one? My 94 Geo Metro is about to give out, only have 136,000 miles on it now and the milage has fallen to 42 mpg from my usual 48 or 49, so need to change soon.
Brian @ Jan 10th 2008 5:04PM
Its about time some company attempted to do something right. Maybe if we drove these "many miles to the gallon" cars, gas prices would come down!!
There is already technology to have cars run off of water. I have a copy of a news segment from a guy in Texas who could run a car off of water only! Too bad people are too greedy to share things like this!!!
Louis Duran @ Jan 10th 2008 1:42PM
Spike, thanks for the info but I already knew that China and the US are 1 and 2. So, not only have we "offshored" our manufacturing sector but we also "offshored" the pollution. But we shouldn't fool ourselves into thinking that their pollution isn't going to affect us nor the fact that they are demanding more and more resources that generate that pollution.
