Oh - I see toil and trouble though! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Nano has also sparked controversy: Last year, farmers and opposition party leaders forced the company to move its $350 million factory to a more business-friendly state . And the Nano is expected to make both traffic and pollution worse . Indians bought 1 . 5 million cars last year, and the country is expected to soon outpace China in auto sales . But many Indians are proud of the car craze . Today, only eight of every 1,000 adult Indians own a car -- compared with about 770 per 1,000 American adults . Experts say that as more of the country's 1 . 1 billion people buy cars, India could soon overtake the United States in emission levels . (The Nano gets about 50 miles per gallon and is 12 percent less polluting than a typical motorcycle, according to Tata Motors . ) "The Nano will create traffic chaos -- no question . But I'm desperate to buy it . It's a really cool car," said Kapadia, of the Good Luck Driving School . "It's a great thing for India because now the poor can afford it . And happiness is much more important than traffic . " Yup - that says it all .	SurferJoe46 (51)
