The people’s car. « Selective Amnesia

11Jan/085

The people’s car.

1) Autos, at least in Madras, will have to get their act together.
2) Bike makers will need to think twice as hard about variants and price-points.
3) Buses will run lighter. Faster.
4) People who do buy a bike, like I will, will know how to actually ride one. (This is a bit of stretch)

The Tata Nano is probably one of the better things to happen to the Indian market. Even if long time friends disagree.

Karthik: Hmmm

Krishnan: I hope so.
