“My Yahama is bigger than that!
Low torque like a lawnmower!”

It has s “623cc rear engine” meaning probably a 2 stroke engine. Meaning probably not allowed in this US

[bill1952]

Well nothing on that car would be allowed here.

Thats why we can't produce anything inexpensive anymore.
no airbags, no modified frame with crumble zones, no set of $2,000 bumpers.

No cats. No lots of things.

2 strokes are the most efficient engine produced, but the EPA says no.

But my yama is a 4 stroke. - No 2 strokes allowed here.

Here is that bra for those sagging TaTas

I’ve seen tatas bigger than that Tata.

[LiberConservative]

I used to tease my sister for having “nano tatas”.

[Sherman Logan]

Actually not bad styling.

I wouldn’t want to be in one during a high speed crash, though.

Back in the early 70s I had one of the first Fuji Heavy Industries cars imported to the US, which later became Subaru.

Dang thing was about this size and had a 2 cylinder 2-stroke. Got 65 to 75 mpg routinely.

Of course, I occasionally ran across a hill the car just wouldn’t climb.

..and you're still with us?

Now these are nano tatas

But the package is "TATUM!"

[reagan_fanatic]

Look at the headlights on that Tata

I wonder if they get brighter when they get cold?

[reg45]

Those have to be the smallest wheels I have ever seen on a car.

About right for a skateboard.

[gaijin]

When they allow THIS here, you’ll know Global Warming is FOR REAL —and it will never be imported.

Which tells you something.

I hope their quality control has improved. I drove a TATA car in India for a few month and when it would rain I’d get soaking wet from the leaks around the doors.

[Miztiki]

It’s a joke here in the US but for the millions of poor people overseas, it’s a huge step up. I hope they love and enjoy their new Tatas!
