i wouldnt want to be behind this turtle and it will surely increase traffic if everyone decides to buy it

it wont come to canada.
reason being it doesnt have airbags and other minimum safety standards.
the nano was built to show that a cheap production car is now available.
for it to still make it into north american soil it needs a ton of other stuff still.

toyota and gm are already in the works for a cheap under 5 grand car aswell.

Team Rukus

btw top speed and acceleration alone would probably not pass canadian standards.

rick10

that's odd because i saw an add for one of them . Waiting time 5 months .I am hoping it doesnt come here but i am not sure now

and yea acceleration is a joke

i dont think its coming to canada or even going out of india anytime soon. the first market it will serve will be the indian masses.

rjngo

it doesn't even have side mirror

szuberi

^^ u fail

rjngo

^ so what?

you failed...i said side mirror not mirros fool! hahaha

szuberi

lol...the pic does show side mirrors that u said it doesnt have. let me know if you need more help to understand better

rjngo

^ why don't we just meet by your work and have a mano mano talk ey?

rjngo

back to the subject...

This car is only in india but like the others i don't think it will come here.

si_ponz

I agree, I doubt it will come here unless some more serious work is put into it, that will also increase the price tag, either way i dont like these sub-compacts coming out at all. Never have, never will.

fingolfin

atleast its FI and 4 stroke...
won't hurt the enviroment as much...

screwface

you mean there's a market for this crap!? i dont think i'll ever understand people who would rather buy a POS car brand new than a better car used for the same price or less

jonny_emo

reason being is that you tend to have more problems with the older cars. lack of parts in stock/price of them. reliability is also sometimes a factor no matter if it's a honda, toyota or anyother make for that matter.

5grand, brand new, good gas mileage...count me in!!!

disposable cars is the way of the future.
less maintenance and life expectancy of 5 years to serve its purpose and then it gets recycled which means less emissions, less pollution in general and less space these things occupy.

szuberi

for an average family consisting of two adults and two young kids in india riding dangerously on a bike in mind blowing traffic, this car is the answer and thats what the idea is behind its production.

screwface

i meant in north america.. i didnt quote that part sure it makes sense for the rest of the world but who here actually junks a car that they once bought when it was new? people here frequently sell their cars well before it's life expectancy to beat the steep depreciation curve and get a good deal on whatever they're trading up for.

what i don't get is the people who would still rather consider buying a car worth $5k brand new when there are plenty of cars worth much more they could get for a similar price used. i guess those same people make the north american market for this; lazy people who wouldn't buy a used car because it might need a thing or two replaced...

less maintenance is all i really see to this. for the past five years ive driven a domestic worth $3000 when i took it and it's needed less than a grand in repairs since it was bought ten years ago. driven about 15,000 km per year... seems completely average to me, someone who lives close to work in an urban area like me is the only place i could imagine there being a market for ridiculously small cars anyway.

so i got 5 years out of a comfortable car with power everything before the A/C quit and i still got almost double the $800 KBB value when i traded it, with the busted A/C, for the civic. the cost of gasoline over time may have equalled it out to the same cost as one of these cars, but it was still bigger and badder while it lasted

well i'm not surprised; i kept up with the maintenance and it wasn't used frequently for unexpectedly long commutes. it irks me to know there are people out there who are too lazy (or ignorant, but that would be a product of laziness anyhow) to do maintenance for themselves, and too cheap to pay a shop to do it, so they'll just go down to the market for a disposable car and throw it out like a mcdonald's wrapper when it dies after a few years of poor maintenance and performance

but yeah you're definitely right about lazy, ignorant people being the future. all the smart people will be lifting the money from their pockets and ****ing the rest of the world over
