The low-cost Tata Nano from India is on market since 9th of April. It's supposed to be the car that will change the car market in the whole world. Can you imagine a car for 2500$? Even if it only has a two stroke 623 cc (38 cu in) engine, no power steering, no power windows and no air-conditioning? It's something we can't imagine. But now you can buy it. Of course, you'll be able to buy it only if you live in India. The rest of the world will need to wait a bit. In 2012 it will be sold in Europe. Till the first sales Tata will have to meet Euro 5 emission regulations and crash standarts. It's not the easiest job to do because car has no airbags and it consumes a lot of gas. Of course if Tata wants to have success in Europe the car has to be much more comfortable as it is in India. It has to have at least power windows and air conditioner. So in Europe they won't be able to sell it for 2500$. In India Tata showrooms are full of potential buyers. We will se waht will happen in Europe in 2012. And they are talking something about US too.
