This is what the US needs to open there eyes to. No one can afford the cars today, and yet we talk of saving gas,polution,roads and here we are building high price, low miliage, high hp, and huge cars & trucks. Most which have no use except to try and impress others while they destroy the planet.

I think Nobama is a total ass to *FORCE* a *SINGLE* person that want to commute to work, to buy a $10k 5-door, over ONE HUNDRED HORSEPOWER car, that does 30mpg!!!!

Talk about being “Anti-Green” (like in anti-matter)!!!!

I don’t have the cash, but I’d buy the existing Nano right this instant, on my Visa! Would pay for itself in a year or 2.

I think on the next future Tata Nano would be followed by other car makers to make cheap cars

compare the text above with the economics of owning a scooter vs a car(http://20somethingfinance.com/blog/2009/05/03/the-economics-of-owning-a-motor-scooter-vs-a-car/)

and take your conclusion…
i took mine: i’ll buy a scooter/mopet!

When you think about it, cars in India are already somewhat cheap and the parts like airbags etc. are not there in most vehicles. For example Maruti already sells its 800 at Rs. 175000. Nano will cost around 125000. Improvement but if it is very inferior quality wise people may not actually fall for it

I think it still makes more sense, environmentally and economically, to fix up older, safer cars. Recycling existing resources makes more sense than producing cheaper ones. Glued on body parts? Yeah good luck, I’ll stick to a motorcycle until then.

I would consider it as soon as other peoples behavior changes. I would not feel comfortable driving that knowing that at any given time a soccer mom on her cell phone in a Hummer could kill me. At least in a larger car I stand a better chance.

I don’t really know if I would purchase it or not. I can’t imagine that it had the greatest crash test ratings and since I see one wreck every time I head home from work in the evening, I would be very nervous driving it around. For me, the cost is not the issue – knowing I am somewhat safe if some crazy person decides to run me over is. =)
