Default Tata has launched the 1 lakh car

Tata has launched the 1 lakh car. It is called Nano. It is said to be the cheapest car in the whole world (is it really?). Very eager to wait and watch on how it goes out when they launch it on middle of 2008. Can we call it middle-class car?

It is really the world's cheapest car. It is being aimed at the common man. It will be excellent for city commutes. It may add to the traffic miseries but that does not mean that the common man should be denied the pleasure of owning a car. It will also force the other small car manufacturer to lower their prices which will be good for the consumers.

Having said all this, I wish the government puts more money into public transport and introduce metro/underground railways in many of the cities in India.

The M800 Basic model is also bereft of AC, Power Steering, any type of Music System, etc. Airbags are found only in high end cars - those costing 7-8 lakhs plus. I have not seen the car but it did look extremely cool on TV. I heard that the seats are not adjustable - if that is true then it will be a bit disappointing; perhaps the deluxe model of this car has that.

Also note that while factory fitted AC, music system, etc. are nice to have they actually end up costing much more because they add to the basic cost of the car and the excise, sales tax, etc. are then levied on top of the basic cost.

No! No! No needs for apologies.

Actually what you posted here also came to my e-mail inbox for quite a few friends and that too a week before the launch. These are almost the same specs for Maruti-800 - so someone who started the mail probably copied the M800 specs, edited a few and sent it.

Yes, it has nothing accurate as of the cars you mentioned but outlooks of this NANO is much more like Maruti Cars.

I like the new Nano but the thing i dont like in this car is that one cannot adjust the front seats which is something very important.

Yes, this i something which can become a big problem for this car. I think it woould had been nice if TATA would have asked for a little more money but would have offered this thing.
