I agree, so let's make a similar priced vehicle in USA.
Cheapest car in the world

Tata Motors, India's largest automobile manufacturing company, plans to put the "world's cheapest car" into production in 2008, according to media reports.
An MSN Money article quotes Tata Managing Director Ravi Kant as saying that the 4-door car, a pet project of his, would be the world's cheapest car at just under US$2,500. Its next closest competitor, the Marati 800 produced by Suzuki Motors, sells at $4,000.
According to MSN Money, the Tata car will not conform to European safety and emission standards but could be upgraded if necessary. It will have a 600cc engine and produce about 33 horsepower, with a top speed of about 80 Km/hr.
Tata Motors Limited is India's largest automobile company, with revenues of about USD 7.2 billion in 2006-07.

Concerned,
You people are all nuts. This country is in enough trouble. I am ashamed that you people would even consider buying anything but a car that is at least assembled in the USA. I am a company owner, I can go to another country and get cheap labor and cheap parts. I choose to stay here and only buy made in the USA products. Go ahead keep buying from the Chinese and the Indians. Don't say anything when you think your calling customer service in the USA and it's India answering.
You will turn this country into a third world country and You will have the poor get poorer and the very rich even richer, no more middle class. So keep buying products outside this country go head.
Pluto Cantu,
I have seen pictures of the car and hope that it meet the USA emissions system requirements. I am ready to buy one if they can be shipped to the USA, particularly Texas.
Max,
well its good that the car is cheap because that might be my future car with my restored 69' charger
Enrique J. Sanchez,
Mexico City needs lots of these kinds of cars. They have one big pollution problem and smaller cars with less smog emission will greatly help everybody.
I understand that the Volkswagon is no longer assembled in Mexico so the TATA car will help the economy and the enviroment.
steelers rule!!!!,
dude what is the car!?!?!?!?!?
gazza,
When are we going to see dealerships in this country just what we need as a second car.
OSITO SOMORAY, JR.,
The tata car can be considered as "people's car" because this can be a great opportunity to the majority people who can less afford to buy a brand new car. The production of tata car can also help boost the economy of India. Congratulation to Mr Ravi Kant! I want to know if his company can put up an assembly plant in the Philippines and im sure the tata car will get the biggest market share in our country. For feedback please write to my e-mail address ots_61@yahoo.com
billy bob biker,
You can bet this car will not be allowed to be imported into the USA. Hell, it's hard to find a motorcycle for that price in the USA. Ten of those cars will put out less emissions than one V-8 engine. Might as well let them build'em in the USA,;however, with all the regulation you might be able to buy one for $9,999. Califorina models $12,999
Forget cars, they should make everybody ride motorcycles 600 cc or less. USA the BIKER NATION.............
Kabaka F.,
Overwhelmingly cheap! I pray that it is not made of cheap components and systems
DK,
For years I've believed this is what the world needs - a nice cheap simple car, not gas-guzzling SUVs or overpowered BMWs and Mercedes etc.
