Tata Nano: A fuel economic car for $2500?

The Indian company Tata Motors has created the world's cheapest car: Nano – the People's Car. It costs $2500 and it will drive 20 kilometres per litre in combined city and highway driving.
Whether the car will meet European safety standards remains to be seen, but the company states that it will only release the Nano on the European markets “if it achieves a four-star rating in the Euro NCAP crash.”

No matter what, Tata Motors has shown that it is possible to produce a cheap and environment friendly car. To minimise the pollution in our cities I would welcome city cars like this instead of the big Land Cruisers that, let me be frank with you daddy, has nothing to do in our cities.
