And now the green peace lamos are whining about the Nano claiming that it is going to be the death of a turtle...

asian fuel use set to dwarf the rest of the world’s. but the globaloney people can’t say anything, because they’re stuck inside the libtard straightjacket they made themselves

[Always Right]

oh my, That makes the Pacer and Gremlin look like stylish cars.

[Always Right]

i don’t even think Steve Ercle would be caught dead driving that car.

It wasn’t designed for you and me, it was made for someone who now has an oxcart or a water buffalo for transportation.

[Semper Mark]

Yee Hah! Now you’re talkin’!

Does that one come in black...with a Rebel Flag painted...anywhere...?

[Kitanis]

Still looks like a pregnant buffalo with roller skate wheels on it.. (j/k)

[. . .three police inspectors, two jeeps full of cops and a wireless patrol van, created a security cordon. It was a well-planned, better-executed operation that ensured public nuisance was at a minimum.]

All this for seven vehicles with a total retail value of $17,500. I try to explain to the whiners I meet the vast advantages we enjoy in comparison to the Third World but I usually make no impression.

India’s version of the VW Beetle. It’s going to enrich the lives of tens or hundreds of millions of people, giving them the freedom and power to commute and travel that we take for granted, and that is a GOOD thing, regardless of how many environmentalists it sends into a tizzy.

>>Tata YoungTata Young is a well-known Thai pop singer whose celebrity goes beyond Thailand frontiers. Born from an American father and Thai mother she's what is locally called a luk kreung: a mix. As a result she shares the best characteristics of the two sides: she is more than pretty, she is definitely hot.<<

Thats not a car, its a shoebox!

[kenth]

Very nicely put together for what it is. Heck, they even used paint at that price.

[gondramB]

In all seriousness I kind of like the Tata Sumo - their crossover vehicle

[2ndDivisionVet]

Not Guilty!

[Semper Mark]

That’s a hat with a motor in it.

I remember reading some terrifying reviews of that thing. Indian cars would probably benefit from the same kind of 10-year warranties that Korean automakers used to build confidence in their products.

Wow, the dollar is really tanking. Yesterday they only cost $2050.

I'd like to see a Hollywood stretch version of this. It would probably look just like a Toyota. It looks to be like a four door with no place for a motor.
