heavyLox Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 they also make a car called 'indica' ABOUT THE NANO, aka the people car: Speaking at the unveiling ceremony at the 9th Auto Expo in New Delhi, Mr. Ratan N. Tata said, “I observed families riding on two-wheelers – the father driving the scooter, his young kid standing in front of him, his wife seated behind him holding a little baby. It led me to wonder whether one could conceive of a safe, affordable, all-weather form of transport for such a family. Tata Motors’ engineers and designers gave their all for about four years to realise this goal. Today, we indeed have a People’s Car, which is affordable and yet built to meet safety requirements and emission norms, to be fuel efficient and low on emissions. We are happy to present the People’s Car to India and we hope it brings the joy, pride and utility of owning a car to many families who need personal mobility.” Stylish, comfortable The People’s Car, designed with a family in mind, has a roomy passenger compartment with generous leg space and head room. It can comfortably seat four persons. Four doors with high seating position make ingress and egress easy. tata also has a sweet 'almost real' website.

Some1 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 is that the air powered car india has cmoing out? Bruce cars released over there will never be released here. They barely have any safety requirements. I bet the car is made out of paper mache' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heavyLox Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 i was taken to the hospital in a cherry red pinto my landlord own after her great-dane bit me in the *&^@ as a child... Since then ive had a soft spot pf pintos since they saved my life. I like pocket sized cars too in theory but in practice im not fitting into them and it suck when a motor cycle blocks your view of whats ahead of you on the road.

anotherwhitekidwithabeard Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 just befriend someone who works at an auto shop if you want a cheap car. you'd be surprised how cheap they an get cars at the auctions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avancier2 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Shit, for 2500 I'll buy that bitch and use it to drive back and forth to work and for long trips to save gas $. In less than 5 years it will pay for itself. If the motor blows up I'd stuff a Honda K20 from an RSX Type-S in it and street race in it, fuck it.

heavyLox Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 unfortunately i bet this thing will never be available in the US and the US auto industry will put the kibosh on any attempt to get it here and it will not pass our safety standards... but titd be cool if those where the only whips allowing in side us city limits...
