From David Colborne’s Nano review at CarLust:
…But wait – it gets better. As numerous news outlets are pointing out, Tata is planning on bringing this little bastion of affordable motoring to the United States. Naturally, this begs the question–will it follow the path laid down by the VW Beetle, burrowing a place into our automotive hearts, or will it simply rust out of our consciousness like the Citroen 2CV?To help us answer that question, let’s run through the specs:
- 2 cylinder, 33 horsepower engine
- 4 speed manual transmission
- 0-43 mph in 14 seconds
- Top speed of 75 miles per hour
- 47 miles per gallon
- Drum brakes all around
- Seats four
Nano ‘luxury’ model, with air conditioning!
>But guess what? Someone has already made a ‘car’ smaller and cheaper than the Nano:
the only small car I liked was Laura Holt’s convertible Rabbit on Remington Steele., nifty Cabriolet ….but that was a German engineered car (and I think they still had electrical problems)…..not a Pelosi engineered shxtbox or cheap collapsible SUBcompact like the Nano…imo… …not for use with NYC cab drivers in the vicinity thats a fer shure
