i'd bus than drive this car.
But I can definitely see the appeal in developing countries. At least it'll be safer than riding a bike. Then again, I doubt safety is a concern in those places where human lives r expendable.

Actually I'd much rather drive this POS than take the bus. Transit in the GVRD sucks ass. This thing is still cheaper than a 50cc scooter and will keep you warm. Just make sure you bring your iPod and some portable speakers with you, haha!

they will be adding a few things to make it legal in NA market
india's auto market is hotter than any other country in the world, and much more room to grow. of course it will cause prob with traffic and poll. but then again they have a right to pollute the world as much as u do.  | |

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if this car polluted LESS per km than most cars in developed countries.
Yes, they did away with welds and used adhesives. Then again, many structural components of BMWs are also glued on, believe it or not. I believe the roof for the 3-series is one of them. Modern glues are surprisingly strong.
I remember my EI buddy once told me he asked his cousin (who lived in India) what his dream car would be if he had unlimited $$$$, and the cousin said it would be a.. *insert drum roll here* Ford Escort.  | |

As one of the biggest countries in the world the environmental impact will be huge let alone the demand for oil going up substantially. I'm curious to see what other problems will arise from this.

^ do you know scooters and other motorcycles do not have catalyze converter, it pollutes our air much worse than a car, and a lot of poorly maintained bikes do not get 50mpg.

The Nano is a lot safer than a scooter and no one in India would rather take the bus than drive a Nano.
I also bet this will be the most customized car in India.

have you ever rode on a bus in india? its scary, the bus seems like its going to fall apart and second. I'd much rather drive this even if it means staying to the left of the road and feel much safer than being with a crazy bus driver.
