Tbh Tom, you be mod or not, I'm honestly surprised at the load of all made up rubbish you've been posting in the thread. ;) To judge something by its cost is what n00bs do.

I don't understand why more and more people are relating it to only being a car for the poor. With the traffic situation as seen today in areas like New Delhi, I would love to drive a car as compact and little as that. No parking worries, easy handling, and stuff. I'd buy it for these things rather than the cost, for all those cost wooers I do have my Ford.
 
Mods aren't allowed opinions? =/
Yes they are, but his posting style is such that he knows it all and we all know nothing, which is what is irritating. Everyone's entitled their opinion, but no one's entitled to dominate when they don't know it all.

He's presenting them as facts, when they're clearly just some made up speculations in his mind.

I personally feel that Nano will revolutionize the Indian car market. Now look, India is still a developing country and most of our citizens (Nearly 70%) are what you say the "middle-class". And very few of them can afford Rs 5 lakhs for just a mere car. (12800$) But now that Nano has been introduced that "I can also buy a car"- this type of mentality will come to their minds. Then thoughts of personal cars and everything will follow it. It's our first step forward. It will take time- but after 5 years or so, I think we all will proudly be able to say, "Every Indian has a car".

Yeah, I suppose I am going by Western standards, where nearly everyone has a car. I must say I do find it a bit worrying that things like emissions appear to have been ignored as everyone here is making a conscience effort to keep cars as "green" as possible, yet it will be pretty pointless if there are millions of cars out in Asia, just completely cancelling it out. Then again that is a completely different topic, the ethics of whether certain cars should be allowed.

Oh yeah, but do you know in your country SUV's are the most popular cars? What do SUV's do for environment contribution, plant trees?

Infact, its TATA who's pushing for a compressed air version of Nano, as well as an electric version of Nano. I don't see SUV's being so "green" anytime soon...

I can't be bothered to quote twice, but your point on the 15 litre fuel tank. Its going to have a city average of atleast 22 Km/H, which means it can go easily 310 Km+ on a single tank filling, and its quite a lot. You have to see the complete story.

UK's Most Popular Cars 2008:

Ford Focus (101,593 cars sold in 2008)
Vauxhall Corsa (99,574
Ford Fiesta (94,989)
Vauxhall Astra (90,641)
Volkswagen Golf (65,029
Peugeot 207 (53,462)
BMW 3 Series (49,384)
Ford Mondeo (44,150)
Vauxhall Zafira (43,169)
Vauxhall Vectra (42,555)

How many of those are SUV's? Let me have a quick count, oh, none (I was going to count the Zafira as 1, but that's an MPV, not an SUV). I'd probably do some research before making sweeping statements like that ;)
