$2500 Tata Nano Unvieled

I agree....
That is where I was leading to...a dissposable car.
They said the "delux" model will have the AC plus I checked out the mentioned Maruti 800.

Do you really think this car will come equipped with all the safety equipment now required in the USA? My bet would be once you bring it up to code it would cost as much as the Yaris or other cars. Unless you can get them listed as an enclosed motorcycle or golf cart

Disposable car? Landfill administrators just gave a collective shudder as the hair on every environmentalist's neck stood on end. What we need is one you can grind up to make another.

If you want an uber-clean small city car look no further than one that runs on air. Literally. Yes, I said air: http://www.theaircar.com/



Oh, and it comes with an airbag and air conditioning!

Wow, you would think with the size of the vehicle and its "no frills" setup, they would have AT LEAST made it run on an alternative energy source.

Wow, i just read a little about the air car....sounds promising. I would love to have one of these as my daily commuter, and keep the VX for weekend fun in the mountains.

But alas, I fear it will still be to little to late.

I realize cheap cars have to be under powered and very small (less materials less material cost Good MPG low power) But why do they all have to be so damn ugly?

What kind of insurance do you need on a $2,500 car? Wouldn't it be totaled after almost any accident?

[johnnyapollo]

At that price you could buy it outright and just have liability in most states.

Yeah, that Nano looks like they stole the wheels off a shopping cart.

I'm with Scott Harness: I like how the SMART cars look. I could be seen in a FourTwo without too much embarassment.
