new Cars are way too expensive…some features offered are awesome others are just plain extravagence.

There is something to be said for basic transport….afterall 90% of the time we are in traffic. The nano is cheap and cheerful and economical just what you need to park @ the supermarket. the effect on petrol of 350million of these in India/Chnese concerns me but I am looking forward to seeing its positive effect on 60% of real Australians/new Zealanders

One needs to remember this is a car for the developing world, frankly I do not know why they are so hellbent on Europe, Im sure they would find more then enough takers for the Europa in India itself. Also Tata recently tied up with Pininfarina to redesign their drab compacts/midsizers and the result is the Tata Prima which is an amazing looking car if Tata can maintain the quality in the concept. With Tata oqning Land rover Im hoping their suv/pick up line is bumped up in quality as well. All and all the future looks a little brighter for Tata.

i wish this was being launched in india as well. though i am waiting for this car to be launched in india this month to see ow it performs on indian roads and conditions .

Because if it can perform here, then its rugged enough for any other country. Add a little engine power to the current 0.65 liter engine … you have a affordable cute little performer. It shall do good in europe.

And just like a space saver tyre you wouldnt want to go over 80 clicks in it, and once you use it its best to throw it away

BM,
‘it would nearly be cheaper to buy one of these consisting of 5 wheels than having to buy 5 individual wheel barrow tyres ha ha ha ha

Frontman,
what are you selling at the moment??
Im sure i know, just cant remember

TS,
this could also potentially be cheaper than roadside service. if you break down, out of fuel or flat tyre, just pull the nano out of the boot to get you to the servo

The great news is that if it breaks down you can put it in the boot of any Ford :) I would rather own one of these than a scooter.

Absi. i would also buy this but holden has nothing to compare this to, and its not their fault that all Daewoo can offer is crap plastic on four wheels. Holden has to re badge what daewoo gives them.

I would rather buy this car than the current korean crap that holden sells.
Just to clarify, i have nothing against Korean cars, hyundai and kia have some great cars and they just seem to be improving with time … but what Holden does with their badge engineering on daewoos is just pathetic!

I am looking forward to the future Top Gear Episode when it arrives in the UK and they put this baby to the test. LOL they could destroy one an episode and barely feel it in their budget. 101 of the most creative ways to write off your Nano.

Well, I am surprised. I think that looks really good. I’d certainly much rather one over the dreadful range of next cheapest Peroduas. I think what people forget about the Nano when critisizing it is that it is not mean to be beautiful, it is not meant to be big, it is not meant to be powerful; it is meant to be affordable. Now, 1700 pounds sounded very, very cheap but we all knew that was too good to be true but even if it was 3000, that still undercuts the cheapest Perodua by almost 2000 pounds and it’s probably a better drive.
The one problem is that when I really think about it, I would almost rather see more push bikes, hell, maybe even old people in wheelchairs cruising the streets in London than more cars. That’s the last thing we need in Europe, more cars.
Oh well, there’s nothing we can do to stop them anyway and I would rather (even) more congested streets than the loss of Jaguar, Land Rover or both and this car could save them.
