Say tata to clean air and easy commute... why the new Tata car is wrong

India readies world's cheapest car - MSN Money

Usually, the guys at Tatas are smart. But, this is the kind of "leadership" that we do not need. Creating an el cheapo car that is nothing more than a four wheeled moped is the last thing we need. Why can't Tatas improved the trucks and buses it makes, help improve the public transportation.

The last thing we need in a land that has absolutely no infrastructure is more cars on the road. But, I think there are some silver linings here - the increase in pollution may be able reduce the population growth rate (add a few more road accidents to it) and reduce productivity as people will be stuck in traffic.

Maybe I am jumping the gun here - this one may make Yugo look like a luxury vehicle and be truly a nova - goes nowhere. One can only hope :)
