Tata nano

For what it is, I think it's a cracking bit of engineering:

What the Smart should have been, and from this vid
looks better than a lot of "Quadricycles" that are made
in France.


May not be a "car" as in what we'd all expect
but I'll give it a:

(And better than a damn Prius in the eco/engineering stakes!)

The buggers have stolen the air vents out of a 156.

Smart was all about a certain image though - this is just the cheapest of cheap motoring. Good luck to them.

It looks like the Design For Assembly techniques, developed by Lucas and others, have finally found a real champion

The real joke would be if they started shipping
CKD kits to the UK. Reversal of history.

What did it score in the NCAP?

What's the progress on gordon murray's (McLaren F1 designer) small car concept??? Now that looked like ground braking engineering - the Tata is a cost saving exercise in the extreme.

Don't think quadricycle thingies have to be NCAP'd, do they? That's why they're all deathtraps

The G-Whiz certainly is!
