Tata Nano Isn’t a Music Player or Tits, Nay, It’s a $2500 Car
The words Tata Nano have nothing to do with tiny music players, but the car going by that name’s price and size are still nearly small enough to dance on the head of a pin. Introduced in India for $US2500, another feature of the car worthy of the word “nano” is probably going to be the amount of time until it needs to go back to the shop, and ultimately the junkyard. But what do you expect from a car with a name that sounds to our ears like a pair of tiny tittles? [Jalopnik]

Dear Bush-Whacker,
Your scorn for a well built product which can uplift a whole segment of society makes you look like you got titty slapped by a Joey.BTW -Your crassy homo-eructus humour reeks of envy for some more savvy inventions coming down your way- All the way from India.Watch OUT!!

Think this car could change the world. I believe the large standing car companies will need to start ot change to supply to countries needs and wants. Maybe they will start making small more fuel senstive cars.
We all should be Proud of Mr Ratan Tata atleat he does not just promise like the Amabanis .He Delivers it aswell..I think we all should be postive & think about the smiles people can afford after getting this tiny baby than the traffic jams & Pollution.Now the world should beware India is up there amongst the Biggies .
The Australian (and Western) scorn for the Nano seems to emanate from a fear of losing dominance over world markets.This is a common phenomenon and was seen first when Japan started its revolutionary marketing of quality products.The scorn slowly turns into a grudging acknowlegement and then to admiration. So ease up , fellow Indians, and let the Nano speak for itself. The first Toyotas were called Sardine cans by Detroiters, and where are they now ?
yes yes yes the nano is so cheap. you guys are all missing the big picture….it’s still only gasoline. which means after every one and their dog buys one the air pollution is going to increase dramatically. now make the car into a hybrid or electric that would be smart. the only thing tata is looking at is the money, it might be cheap but a hundered times more cars are going to sell, it has nothing to do with the consumers interest.
This is a visionary and brave project by the people at TATA. We, Indians should be proud of this achievement.
Vehicle affordability and ownership has a strong correlation to economic growth. Apart from making the car affordable, importance must be place on quality and safety. Setting a very high standard for the domestic market will create a niche for this car in the global market which does not exist as of today.
All the best to the Nano team
It’s good to see cars are becoming cheap & disposable like laptop computers. I would buy one of these today if they were available in Australia for US$2500. Unfortunately, all the added safety features needed to pass the Australian Safety Standards will double the price.
Last March 23, the Tata Group headed by Ratan Tata launched the new car called the nano car. It is the world’s cheapest car. The newest model of Tata group, talked about for years, the Nano, is a stripped down affair that retails for about $2,000, so you can get a brand new car for a few online payday loans. The car has no features outside of seats, an engine, and a steering wheel. Customers outside of India are going to have to wait as the safety features of the vehicle are updated to fit standards of foreign markets, so it may end up costing twice as much in the U.S. to own a Nano.
