Happy to see the car.
But still lots of doubt.
Will it sustain for longer duration.
Is that really passes, in all roads and driving condition.
If it is so then really hand off to Nano team.
Lets wait and see.

When will Tata sell cars in the U.S.? This beats anything for sale here, and I’d love to see American car-makers be motivated by this kind of competition! They whine about having to achieve 30 mpg (7.84 kmpl) by such-and-such future date and our thieving, murderous, treasonous president does everything he can to continue to bolster American consumption of oil as well as oil prices/profits. *sigh* Anyway, I’d love to see Tata sell cars in the U.S. Even for 2 lakh this car would be an amazing deal here. Heck, the Honda Civic and Toyota Prius hybrids cost around 4-5 lakh, and their fuel efficiency isn’t this good.

Hi at first congratulation to Sir Ratan Tata and his team for implementing the dream as success. Its the time to revolution in car using . Its the great gift of south Asian people. Its the fulfilment of dream to most Asian Developing countries people. I think within very few days , most of the house’s yeard will decorated with the NANO car . Its the great achievement of al south asian developing countries. The whole would would be think from now that, Asians are not only poor and and attacked by diseases but also they can compete with any developed countries of the world. Again thanks and showing hat off to Sir Ratan tata. Thanks a lot.
