| 629195 | 2008-01-10 19:38:00 | $2500 USD. Beats getting wet and cold sitting on a motorcycle in the winter. Should be OK for around town but cannot see it hitting 100 kph with five people in it, LOL. Wonder if we will see it for sale here in NZ? jalopnik.com "As expected, the car that Tata claims will change the face of not only the Indian car market, but the global auto industry will be a four door, five seat hatch, powered by a 30 HP Bosch 624 cc four stroke engine mounted out back and mated to a CVT. That makes the Nano the first time a 2-cylinder gasoline engine will be used in a car with a single balancer shaft. The Nano's also expected to get 54 US miles per gallon." |

| 629196 | 2008-01-10 19:43:00 | not a new idea, a few manafactures have made small cars with motorbike engines. great around town but hopeless out of town. | tweak'e (69) | ||
| 629197 | 2008-01-10 19:46:00 | Not bad... but noting the engine capacity, it's not stunning either. My 1994 Civic (1500 or 1600, can't remember which) did 47.5mpg last time I drove back from Taupo. | Erayd (23) | ||
| 629198 | 2008-01-10 19:53:00 | I think I would probably be able to get half of my weekly grocery shopping in that thing. I wonder if they can tow baby trailers? | FoxyMX (5) | ||
| 629199 | 2008-01-10 20:00:00 | Handy for the parking enforcers, they will be able to use vacuum cleaners instead of tow trucks. | R2x1 (4628) | ||

| 629201 | 2008-01-10 20:28:00 | I prefer the Tata CityCats - powered by compressed air, does 200km on one "fill" of air. Top speed 110km/hr. Costs about $3/fill, and no emissions whatsoever. | somebody (208) | ||

India bought Morris Oxford years ago and continued making them, in fact probably still do. England lost interest in making cars, so why not? And they are INDIAN not Chinese. |
