$2500 Car

The article says this car is meeting with a lot of criticism because even though it is very fuel efficient (allegedly 50 mpg), it will dramatically increase overall pollution and congestion as the masses buy lots of them. The current average speed on the roads of Dehli is 7 mph because there is so much congestion. Once these cars hit the streets in numbers, that average speed is expected to drop even more. which is good, since an accident at a higher speed would be fatal in this thing.

The low price is only good in 3rd world countries, because the car doesn't meet western standards. It would increase in price dramatically as safety and emissions equipment is added so it can be sold in the West.

And since this thread is nothing without pictures of the car, check these out:
