NEW DELHI - For millions of people in the developing world, Tata Motor’s new $2,500 four-door subcompact — the world’s cheapest car — may yield a transportation revolution with as great an impact as Henry Ford’s Model T, which rolled off an assembly line one century ago.

The potential impact of Tata’s Nano has given environmentalists nightmares, with visions of the tiny cars clogging India’s already-choked roads and collectively spewing millions of tons of carbon dioxide into the air.

Industry analysts, however, say the car may soon deliver to India and the rest of the developing world unprecedented mobility.

You have such a way with words

Damn it Indy I thought you were talking about something else

Hey.... I'm just trying to lighten the atmosphere (. .)

There's a great So Cal marketing ploy here. $2500 has GOT to be cheaper than a Newport Beach cosmetic surgeon...

Yes, Indy.... I heard about this on the radio today. The founder ws interviewed. There had been some discord because it was believed it was contributing further to the pollution problem.

Quite frankly... I can't see it. I mean, those buying the car would not be buying it when otherwise they would NOT be buying a car, i.e. just for the sake of it, would they? In fact, they would probably be buying a car anyway but INSTEAD of a huge gas-guzzler..... therefore, actually helping the "green" situation??

Just a thought??

Well.... I think I'd opt for the transportation... but, if you see a picture of the TaTa Nano, it is shaped like a boob...

However, it does get up to 50 mpg

Just another way to keep a developing country with aspirations down. If it gets 50 mpg...it probably produces less emissions than an SUV getting 10 mpg. JMO~ (. .) They have as much right to drive automobiles as anyone... I applaud the company, personally.

I don't normally pay more than $100.00!!

Go to the east side of Indianapolis.... You'll save $ (so I hear).

Interestingly, sometime this year, Tata will probably own Jaguar

Check it out Robert. It's a rather funny looking little car........but I'm sure it's functional. The tires look like they could fit on a Toro

It's a riot, to be sure. It will be snapped up like crazy in emerging markets. At 33 hp, it makes less horsepower than my bikes.

It's on msnbc website. Hey, you may want to trade in one of your 3 bikes! (and get cash back)

A number of Chinese makes will be at the Detroit show. Their press events should be interesting...

If you get in it, just make sure you can get back out....it sure looks cozy....

Shape like a boob and cozy only for 2500.$ now thats a deal!

I wonder what kind options you can get with it

I think brakes go for $150...

yes
