The fact that they can only make 100k cars this year is laughable. Ford sold a million Mustangs in its first year.

I want one for the 'hood in which to take the boys to school. For $2500, it's like a glorified, street legal go-kart.

I heard somewhere that Cracker Jacks were going to use these cars as the new prizes in every box. Can anybody else confirm that?

Well they made a lot.
Plus the Mustang even though its a cheap POS is still more car than this thing. The Indians have a long way to go with manufacturing capacity.

It's a car made for crappy city and traffic conditions and designed for people who want a step above a scooter to carry their family around in. It doesn't need to be any more car... not everything has to be a luxury car.

'Better than a Bycycle Rickshaw!
I agree with Ara,for many Indian families the Nano will be a luxurious vehicle.
