Comments on: Would You Buy a Tata Nano? http://www.automoblog.net/2008/05/21/tata-nano/ A Car Blog for Auto Enthusiasts Tue, 22 May 2012 08:55:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Charles http://www.automoblog.net/2008/05/21/tata-nano/comment-page-1/#comment-73749 Charles Mon, 09 Mar 2009 16:11:08 +0000 http://www.automoblog.net/2008/05/21/tata-nano/#comment-73749 A $2500 car would be good for just about anyone. Cheap.. Spend my money on better home good and less on my car. A car is only a source of transportation and when cars first came out they sold cheap new and did not have luxury items we see today. Only a fool would turn a $3000 into a $15,000 car with speakers, stereo, amps, lights system, ect.. But I think other companies are smart to follow the pattern of a cheap car verses all expensive cars. Me? I have a new Chevy Pickup but am on a fixed income, the loan is ready to break me, and I think this is a solution to some problems. A $2500 car would be good for just about anyone. Cheap..

People think that a car with only four speakers and a single CD slot is the interm level in a car. Or that a car without automatic climate control is to pedestrian. People are too confused about what they want and what they really need. You don't need a Bose/harmon kardon/Levinson audio system in your $15000 car simply because you want it. However, I do see this car working for the lower income bracket. Something like this is perfect for them: They get reliable transportation (hopefully) at an incredibly affordable price. The ability to dump some rust bucket gas guzzler for an efficient sedan with a warranty sounds like it would be a good idea for a lot of people. I don't see it working on a larger scale.

I don't think people are willing to give up the cars they love, but for an every day commute car, I'd buy one. Of course I'd keep my fun cars - that's part of who I am. And I'd keep any utility cars out of necessity, but if the Nano came to the states for $2,000 or even $3,000 I'd buy it to drive to work and back every day, maybe some longer travel. Even if the interior does look like it was carved from clay. I don't see it being far off.
