<VV> The Tata Nano

[Harry Yarnell]

The Tata Nano is written up in the March 2009 issue of Automobile magazine. 
They devoted 6 pages to it.
Ravi Kant, head of India's Tata Motors, wanted a cheap car that poor Indians 
could buy. His concern was the terrible fatalities of bicyclists and 
pedestrians in India, and that if they had better (albiet cheap) 
transportation, the fatality rate would drop.
The car looks a little like a Smart; gets 60 MPG, weigh 1300#, and has 33 
HP. (wadaya want from a 600 cc engine).
