No way they can build a car that cheap, the cost of providing health care for union employees adds from $1,100 to $1,500 to the cost of each of the 4.65 million vehicles GM sold last year per car in the US .

that does not include the cost of any metal, parts, labor, etc etc etc. Just insurance costs, and that was in 2005 it has to be significantly higher today.

Actaully, we might see those cars. With the new MPG mandate coming soon GM, Ford and Chrysler might have to package them with their trucks, vettes, mustangs and new challenger (hopefully new Camaro) so they can say their cars make the avg mpg they're supposed to. :)

I mean YES, the car is very ugly but you have to understand the people and lifestyle it's meant for. Most of India is highly populated and dense so so a small cars that are affordable for the common man is definitely a good thing. Heck it might reduce pollution and exposure to sun for those people rather than sittin in the baking sun on motorcyles which is waht 70% of the trasport is there. So what if it's ugly, it might just change their economy for the better. my 2c;)

I rented a Yugo up at Port Angeles, WA when I was at the Paper Mill up there years ago and it was a fine, altho, old-fashion designed little cheap corn-popper!

And I 'd buy a Tata in a New York Minute if I could.

I'd change out the wheel bearings for better, higher speed, jobbers and gently drive her into the ground commuting 65 to 70 miles a day back and forth to work as I laugh at the Banks and the Gas Stations!!

You know, I guess I like spending the saved gas money on other things I like better than on gasoline is all!!!

PS., and fwiw, I REALLY want a brand new 1987 Chevy Sprint ER 3-banger, 5-speed hatch, el-cheapo stripper like I bought new back then for $6,300, but now I'd GLADLY give $10,750 for it!!

50+ mpg running 70 mph ALL DAY LONG for YEARS AND YEARS!! It was THAT GOOD A CAR!!

And right, a 1987 to about 1990 Suzuki Turbo Sprint was one heck of a little-bitty SK-8 Board of a car back then!!

i would be tempted to see if i could drive by that thing really fast and see if i could blow it away.

but yes my waife wants one of those if ever it makes it this side of the pond. but i told her if it does it will probably be atleast double in price as they would have to severly modify it to meet us safety and emission standards (i did not pay attention to the news to see if it did meet the standards)
