World's Cheapest Car

Posted by Alex Zalben

No, I mean the world's cheapest car that actually works:

 

India has just started producing the Tata Nano, a car priced at $2000 that can fit up to five people (cool!), but also ha no radio, no air bags, no passenger-side mirror, only one windshield wiper, and no air conditioning (not cool!). Also, it has no gas tank, and can't drive. Kidding.

So here's my question for you: If cars were priced around $2000, and you don't currently own one, would you buy a car? Even knowing its limitations?

is it legal to not have a passenger side mirror? and if it is, why did I fail my driver's license test for not using all of my side mirrors?! DMV jerks.

India is a great place for a company to test market a product because there is no liability or accountability on them.  Now if you get an automobile with basic equipment under 5g in the US with super a MPG rating I'm sure we would see a lot less clunkers on the road all be it with an increase in fatal auto accidents.

So you're saying India is a good place to try out my portable death ray?
