A new People's Car

I wager that the special interests in the USA will block its importation as they have other mini-cars.

Interesting, very interesting. We already have an India built electric car up here, just came over a few months ago. Looks really different, seats three abreast, retails cheaper than any other electric car, uses lead acid batteries though.

There was a story on another reasonable car not long ago, also built in India or was it China? Cant remember the details..

Heh. I'd buy one just for the novelty. I doubt they will be able to sell them in the USA though as it's hard to imagine they could live up to safety and emissions standards. On the other hand, if they do live up to standards all the other automakers will be in deep s*it.

The car referred to here is called the Reva in India and the G-whiz in the UK. It is a city car and would be my choice for a daily driver IF Uncle Sam would allow them to be sold and operated here. George
