2010 Tata Nano - What's the Big Idea?
2010 Tata Nano - Tata Fuel Efficient Compact Sedan - Automobile Magazine
A car for the twenty-first century: The Tata Nano is small, affordable (the world's cheapest!), and fuel-efficient. And - surprise - it rides like a real car.

There is a chance - just a chance - that this odd-looking little bubble of a car, with its dime-size wheels and tiny tailpipe and weird two-cylinder whir, might turn out to be the Ford Model T of the twenty-first century. True, there's plenty that might prevent the new Tata Nano from causing the seismic shock that some predict it will inflict on the global car industry. But like other transformative cars, it has a quantum-leap quality. The Model T revolutionized how cars are made, the Mini rethought how they're laid out, and at $2500, the Nano turns upside down our previous ideas about how much cars should cost.
