you GO TATA!!!!! these cars are seriously ugly, but for the masses its a step to the future, now we just need to stick some solar cells all over it and make it green!!!
Seriously, this is good news. Now folks can have an OPTION on picking a $2500 car. It would be awesome since parking spots would be easier to fit into.
Plus India does NOT have its own oil supply ... this helps cut dependence on oil. FYI, there is also research into real, deployable and cheap electric (and alt. source) vehicles. Good stuff Tata ..
To the usual "cow and elephant" idiots, looking at the dollar fall and rising oil prices, I think we might need these in the US ... I filled 91 octane gas at $4/gal the other day (san diego).
This is awesome, and I don't know about Ugly, sure it's not attractive, but compared to most other "next generation" fuel efficient cars it's at least decent.
Though I feel it needs something. Like a pale blue base covered in a rainbow of giant flowers.

What blows me away is that it only costs $2500 and does 54 MPG. Add solar panels to it? No way. That would only drive the cost up.

$4.00 a GAL is cheap as far as petrol goes, when compared with overseas markets.

I want one more version - an RV Slot Car - something that can fit in the cargo hold of a larger RV would be awesome :]
bonus points if they make it come with a removable roof :]
