Tata nano : love it or hate, but challenge it

""Tata Motors today took the covers off the world’s cheapest car — the Nano.



Over the past year, Tata has been building hype for a car that would cost a mere 100,000 rupees (roughly $2,500) and bring automotive transportation to the mainstream Indian population. It has been nicknamed the “People’s Car.” Over the course of the New Delhi Auto Expo, which began this week, anticipation had grown to fever pitch.""

~~~New York Times, Jan 10, 2008.


Though there is possibility of more congestion, more pollution, it is not practically possible rolling out of Tnano in next 6 months. Its market demand, not even Dr. Pachauri or Sunita Narayan can stop it. its good to salute this innovation and try for a better alternative.



So, let's challenge Tata Nano. but, the alternative design may not be a single car rather an personalized, affordable and eco-friendly transport system for home to office commuting and weekend tours.

let's share your views and crazy ideas also suggest names...
