... I can't find my "kill it with fire" button..
I bet my House, my wife and my 2 Cars, that this is not going to pass European Safety-Standards!
Even then, it still looks like it's on castors.It does look better than the Indian deathtrap one. Look how enormous the wheels look in comparison.
So, which one would you buy, this, or a nice condition E34 or W124?
~$10,000 for a ONE liter engine? No thanks...
Whichever has FWD, because it's just better.
Oh sorry, meant PWD (Posmo Wheel Drive)
Sure they do look out of proportion, but have you actually sat in a Mini? It's not what you'd call spacious, plus getting in and out can be cumbersome, not to mention getting to the back seat. This Tata Curry is probably aimed at old people needing a small car to go around the town, which means it needs to be accessible....the Nano is too tall for those wheels. They're hideously out of proportion, in a way that the even smaller wheels on the Mini aren't.
Yes: my brother had one, and I never found it short of space. Neither did he, and he's two inches taller than me. That it was a 1978 model with a completely bare dashboard might have had something to do with it, but it never made me uncomfortable.Sure they do look out of proportion, but have you actually sat in a Mini?
Sounds very similar to what Daihatsu tried a few years back. It was called the Move, it was ridiculously tall and had four doors but had a short wheelbase and tiny wheels (which were still not quite as tiny as the Nano's). It was marketed with the slogan: "Don't laugh, one day we'll all be driving one." 14 years later, we're not, and I can't remember the last time I saw one on UK roads. When it climbed out of an oily grave as a Perodua Kenari, that was even less of a success: I don't think I've ever seen one anywhere. Does the Nano really stand a chance?It's not what you'd call spacious, plus getting in and out can be cumbersome, not to mention getting to the back seat.

bet accepted. i'll take the cars, you can keep the rest.
there is no way at all that an indian car will ever be able to pass euro standards .they will all fail like the chinese.
that said, it won't sell very well in europe.
