Note the engine/motor choices for the Pixel. No gasoline-powered choice which we're pretty much stuck with here due to environmentalist activism.

I wonder what the estimated MPG is for the Pixel fitted with a 1.2-liter, turbo-charged diesel engine.

Lots of jokes on this thread.
We aren't going to be laughing at what a half billion Tata-driving Indians do to the price of gas.

The misunderstanding of the world on Free Republic is boundless.
The cars depicted are for the masses in megacities, those with populations greater than 10 million. The people there need cheap cars to navigate the busy and crowded city streets. The megacities customers may very well buy them by the hundreds of thousands because they exactly fit their needs.
The world population is moving to the mega cities where poor people are becoming middle class people who need transport, cheap transport. There is no need for concern with garage height and gull wing doors when there is no garage. there is congestion that makes opening a door in traffic a problem.
The designers no doubt developed a feature rich car for the specific intended use having nothing to do with our concepts of need
Oh yes........ denigrate diesel at your peril. Diesel rules the future

By the way,isn't the export sales of the TAta about equal to the GM total sales of the Chevy Volt?
And which car is most likely to still be running ten years from today?HINT:battery packs wear out and are horribly expensive.

Tatas will last a lifetime, if they survive the first drive home from the dealership. This is what's known in the electronics world as 'infant mortality.'

Key word of this article is “... world’s CHEAPEST car”.
Cheap is right ... POS would be a better reference.
