Small. It’s The New Big.

Poor countries are getting rich, gas costs are rising and our planet is heating up. The result: a new breed of 21st-century cars that are cooler, cheaper and more compact than ever.

    I want to trust her even when my eyes are close. Will it be possible?

    What if Chevy or Ford had breached the $ 2,500 car, using the same materials and technology as what Nano have right now (otherwise it wouldn't be a $ 2,500 car), and not Tata Motors. Would it take the same criticism as the Nano is going through? I bet it would be the hottest trend. Every magazine will have it on the cover. Spoiled brats from opulent families will be demanding for it like an ipod. But, it came from India... from what Motors? ... Wait a Minute... How Green is that thing?...

    How can i trust to someone? I want to have a faithful friend for my life. Can i get by praying or by reasoning?

    Funny how people in developed countries worry about the Nano being so popular that it will add to carbon emisson problem,without knowing that on a per capita basis US is the biggest emmitter of carbon per head. The logic seems to be that we can pollute but you know what, you chaps are developing therefore its a crime to own a car or advance in any form as our planet cant take more. I guess the answer from us is the same as the earlier post "life isnt fair" ,we like the good things in life too & if we can afford a Nano,we will buy it......so keep your sanctimonious drivel to your self

    Well. to avoid an overpopulation of this tiny cars, they should sell them only to previous car owners. It doesn't sound fair to new generations and to people that want to progress, but what is fair in this life?
