Make room for the world's cheapest car


It all started about 2 years ago, when the Indian entrepreneur Ratan Tata announced that he will launch a Rs 1 lakh car ($2500 approx) for the indian masses. "Experts" said its impossible, they said its an unrealistic dream, they said it will look like a 4 wheeler autorickshaw; but boy were they wrong or what. Tata Motors finally unveiled the "Nano" today at the Auto Expo 2008 held at New Delhi. Sleek slender sexy, sure doesn't seem like "two motorcycles joined at the hip or an auto-rickshaw on 4 wheels", in the words of Tata himself. Running at a top speed of 70 kph with an average of 50 mpg, its sure to leave a mark. And for all the suckers who thought it's impossible, in your face!!! Kudos to Ratan Tata!!!
