Small and Priced Right


















A Tata Motors’ Nano car stands displayed at the company's plant in Pimpri, 160 km (100 miles) southeast of Mumbai, India, Wednesday, March 25, 2009. Engineers stripped away everything they could on Tata Nano, the $2,000 automobile designed for poor Indians, which goes on sale in India next month. The car is 10.2 feet (3.1 meters) long, 4.9 feet (1.5 meters) wide, and 5.6 feet (1.7 meters) high, and gets an impressive 55.5 miles to the gallon (23.6 kilometers per liter). Tata Motors says it emits 12 percent less carbon dioxide than two-wheelers made in India. Source: Yahoo.News
