So if a woman buys this car, and someone says “Nice Tata’s”...what then?
;)
Surely it’ll never pass US safety and pollution standards.

With the price being so low, I wonder where they outsourced the manufacturing from.
Why should the Indians care about US law?

Between the Punto and the Tata, I’m not sure which way it’ll go...sounds more like a porn convention than a car show.
Drive the Dodge....but see me for the tatas.
Tata Motors announces it newest model the Double D-X.
I remember driving the roads in India, back in the seventies. Tata made all of the Trucks (Public Carriers, as the called them). These vehicles were perpetually overloaded, without brakes, going too fast and could be found on either side of the road. Seeing the TATA Logo coming at you at high speed with apparent intent to kill was a daily occurance.
I can still see that logo in my dreams. I’m lucky I don’t have it embossed on my forehead.
If you go to this web page: http://www.desispin.com/journal/?currentPage=3 and scroll down, they have a picture of the Rs 1 on the test track.
Hmmmm.
Some things are the same no matter where you go!
