Might? No it's 100% where they skimped on materials. cost engineering is a booming business in india, the point is audi interriors or even civic reliability, it's about providing a car to a segment of the population which could never afford it so their children dont need to ride on the handle bars of bikes. It's the same trend which lead to the $20 cell phone. ]]>Mar 5th 2008 7:19PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/05/geneva-2008-spending-time-with-the-tata-nano/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/05/geneva-2008-spending-time-with-the-tata-nano/
I had a good look at the iterior when Sir Jackie Stewart visited the stand and was allowed into the vehicle. The interior in this high end version had some excellent red leather seats and good looking dashboard including a passenger air bag. There also seemed to be rear seat belts, leather steering wheel and I would assume matching gear lever and chrome switches on the dashboard.

I think TATA have done fantastic with the nano, and the high end version shows the transition from low cost car for the masses to a small car with great potential suitable of satisfying consumers in the more progessed european market.

Those of us that were at the show on both press day's would note that the low end vehicle was next to the high end version on the 4th and moved for the 5th to the other turn-table an indication that perhaps TATA were trying to avoid damage to this small wonder, even before the public are allowed in.

I personally, I'm looking forward to the nano's visit to europe on a more permanent basis.

Well done TATA]]>Mar 6th 2008 10:37AM
