I'm assuming that government will start some form of taxing to keep the numbers from jumping up drastically since this will be the cheapest B/new car in our market Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rastima Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) so long for the concept of buying a "one-lahk-car" ( 2.3 lhaks) in Sri Lanka Guys, if im not mistaken, there is a dealer of this "Nano Fuel Saver" or (something i cant remember) located in Battaramulla. they have some kind of a HOSE which they fix around the fuel line in the engine. i'm not sure you guys speek about the same. but, i have couple of friends who purchased this thing and say is not worth buying it.

Silver Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Wonder how well this'll do in the Euro NCAP. Btw, if you have one you can say that you've got your own 'rear engine rear wheel drive' car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, if you have one you can say that you've got your own 'rear engine rear wheel drive' car You can say that if you have a Micro or a Three wheeler too. Or you can call it what JC fondly calls the Porsche owners. The "Arse Engined Brigade" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTAm Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 If I remember what I read last, I think TATA is struggling to meet the 1 lakh target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With absolutely no crumple zone, 1mm thick steel, fuel tank right in front of the driver, plastic bits and pieces that start rattling at anything more than 40, high centre of gravity, this is bound to appeal only an exceptional idiot.

It's no different than the Prius with an LS swap. I think it's meant to be a "circus freak" than an actual performance car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
