Auto Industry Analysts are hailing a new car from India as breaking new ground, and that it will revolutionize the industry.

The car is called the Nano, and it is made by Tata Motors in New Delhi, India. 

The Nano is now the most affordable car for sale in the entire world, only costing $2,500 US Dollars.  Yet, it offers many of the benefits that car lovers have come to expect.

Tata's CEO projects that his company's auto exports will reach $25 Billion in US Dollars by 2015, and that both Europe and the USA will become key markets, as well as third world counties.

Are you ready to drive a Nano?   Here is a photo of the car:





And here is a photo of the CEO driving the car:

Here is a link to a complete story about this fantastic new car:

No. I gave up skateboarding at a young age.

unless the thing gets 100MPH and has extremly good impact testing I don't see what the big deal is except for the price.

At $2500 the NANO will mean that even the poorest of people can buy a new car in west and medium class in developing countries. It might mean a huge step upwards in the quality of living for millions of people. And with that, increase in oil consumption and pollution naturally.

Millions more will be able to afford a car now, millions more will want it and India will get a boost to its economy. I don't think NANO will ever be popular in the west where we have similarly priced driveable preowned cars abundantly available.

It will never make US equipment standards as it is now and certainly won't be affordable if modified to fit them.

Seems like you misunderstood his post pretty spectacularly, he seems to be suggesting that gasoline availability will be limited in 10 years, not that the car will break down.  Reading comprehension is tricky, but stick with it, you'll get it!  ;)
