xyunya: true for businesses, not so for personal… What could you outsource there as an individual?

Most people I know go to India to see family, the second most for spiritual reasons, third to go clubbing etc.

so we flood the world with these “micro” cars and noone sees the environmental hazard in this? they will all use gas and they all have it going out the exhaust, why is this good again?

JohnnyBlazE, your comment was correct during Beatles era. Now people travel to India for purely ungodly reason: labour outsourcing. Even from London.

Deanster, I drove donkey in Greece and it drove excellent: got me on top of the mountain, even so the darn thing smelled awful. I don’t intend to bring that ass into US for commuting on roads, although speed in downtown Boston isn’t much faster then on Greek island ass climbing up hill. Or yes, fuel efficiency was excellent, but heavy exhaust and **** damage for environment.

Ironically you’re more likely to travel to India for Godly reasons…

Why should we care? Isn’t this website marketed for North American readers.

Besides it’s a piece of crap death trap which is why none of us will ever see one, unless, for some ungodly reason you’d travel to India.

Over here Bimmer suspensions require replacements every 50.000 KM, mind you we’re talking KM not miles. I’m sure those Indian mini cars are durable enough to take the extreme abuse of the even worse Indian roads. I wouldn’t want to get in one in the case of an accident though.

johnny,
there was an article in last years Toronto Star, how one writer drove ’stupid’ car from New Brunswick to Vancouver. I don’t think that it’s much bigger and much more powerful then Nano.

You’re right, Deanster, the Accent isn’t bad at all for the price and it is actually a real car. That thing- whatever it’s going to be called- will not be. Imagine trying to drive something of the Nano class from Calgary to Vancouver. You’d never make it. They have a law in Washington state that I thought was brilliant when I went through the Cascades a few years back. They have signs posted that say if you’re holding up more than 5 vehicles pull over. And they provide lanes to do this. Outstanding idea. Problem is if you were driving this Nano wannabe you might as well just set up camp in one of them.

In Canada Hyundai offers the Accent for $9995. The only car left under 10k – I rented one in Greece 5 years ago and it drive REALLY well for something that cheap. I would seriously consider it if I were on a serious budget.

Deanster, if those are made for Indian roads, they will take more abuse then 90% AWD in US.
As far budget cars, Chevy Avea is the price leader (and price only).

I would LOVE a few of these to abuse. Hop sidewalks, pull the handbrake and bomb around corners, fly off speed bumps. You know, like when you used a moped for a dirt bike back in the day…

Just keep it in India and other EM’s because the wealthier more powerful countries don’t need a budget car like that we have Honda.

50% owned by Baja, and 25% by Renault and Nissan. What about the other 25%?
