Tata Plans to Bring Ultra-Cheap Nano to U.S. in Three Years

GOLF CART... my friend.. GOLF CART.

Better golf carts are already built across the USA and throughout the USA by American companies. They and are both better made and will run the distance with this piece.

Any golf cart can be licensed for the street in most areas and most of them can have ANY BODY STYLE dropped on top of the frame.

We build a better vehicle all the way around and it can power your home when it is not being driven. Just a thought. Of course it will cost more than this EV golf cart deal from India. Buy one oftheir motorcycles instead, they are made fairly well.

Can you come up with comparative stats for your own made golf cart and the car OP is suggesting? don't forget to give price comparison also.As you know its age of recession and every one is not rich enough to have a golf stick in his hand.

Rakesh, my friend,

I was just being somewhat spiteful about the little car and would actually like to see the Nano make it to the USA.

Before it is allowed on a major highway due to safety standards, it will be classified the same as a golf cart. Simply meaning, it cannot be driven on freeways and major transit areas where huge tractor trailers operate. The safety issue is just common sense as an 18 wheeler that must swerve for a golf cart, moped, or Nano may wind up killing the family in their mini-van who is in a seperate lane.

I'm sure you will agree with the safety issue of smaller and much slower cars being allowed on certain highways and byways.

Hi Mealer,

I think there is some misconception about use of Nano. It is just a city car I don't think it is meant for freeway drive.You can take it to your grocery store or kids can take it to school as they now drive big gas guzzling cars. One day in Delhi Mr.Ratan Tata saw a family on scooter it was raining. He felt the need for small affordable car for such families.This is how he was inspired to develop Nano.

Tatas are planning to have tie up in foreign countries for assembling Nano. They have already tied up in Thailand. If you feel interested then you should approach them.

Regarding their trucks, they had collaboration with "Benz" some 50 years back. It is German technology which has given them success.

Hello my India based friends,

The Tata is a great inner-city car as you suggest. I applaud the work done to create a smaller affordable vehicle other than a scooter for a family of four (I've seen the 2x6 "lumber" seating arrangements that stretch across the lane!).

Soon, we will see many of these inner city friendly cars.

Thanks for reviewing your thoughts, I do agree some of the concerns raised, but thats for theTata pay's to its employee.

Hi Mealer,

I have seen this car in showroom in Mumbai. It can not be compared with Golf Cart. May be it is small in size but it has features of the normal car. Can you call Golf Cart a Car?. Please don't underestimate your would be competitor.Rather get ready to meet challenge.

Suresh Sharma.

Yes, Suresh Sharma... You are right. I should not knock anything that TATA puts out.

I can appreciate nearly every vehicle TATA builds. The trucks are actually made quite well and their quality surprises me. I would love to be part of what will become of Land Rover!

The Nano is a cute little car that will find it's nitch and will probably sell very well.

I hope to have a production line to compete with TATA, in a friendly and agressive international type of competition, we can both envigorate our nation's economy and hopefully inspire other's to do the same.

Emission controls and crash resistance. Rarely do I see a golf cart doing 65 mph on one of the major highways....

To all on this post: don't waste your time replying to comments made by JL Mealer- he is an American Right Wing Nut & nothing more- he goes around posting on blogs about how great Bush & his right wing buddies are & how they had NOTHING to do with the state of the U.S. economy today. To him everything is the fault of Al Gore & the Democrats. Just another delusional fruitcake. Unfortunately, we have too many of his kind in the US today. When the truth is at odds with their perception, they just make up lies and point fingers. He has a "company" with no product, or patents only crackpot promises and lies.

Not true.... Bush was not such a great President and I am not a right winger.. Maybe nutty smetimes, but it entertains my sons and their friends!

You are correct that I do not care for Gore's theories.... But the only thing I have 100% against Democrats is their abortion issue... But that was a Supreme Court decision that we must live with.

And you should let people know that by your IP address you work for GM...Or very close to heart of the Detroit mania.
