worlds cheapest car from india

[tim west]

looks ok but the dealer price of approx £1200 is this based on testing to British Standards? ie will that be the dealer price in the UK when it passes all our tests?

looks a winner on petrol consumption 70.5 mpg

might not be the worlds most beautiful looking car but at that price who cares as long as it gets you from a to b at a cheap price.

That pretty much sums up your mentality, really.

to diverse this thread slightly, it boils down to the government banning cars over a certain cc or petrol consumption and forcing our manufacturers to change their models in compliance, the market(whatever little there is) will still be there and maybe the changes might even boost the market by getting people to change their cars more often?
popularity in cars like the above can only help to reduce prices of currently available models

be interesting to see what the motoring press make of it.

Triple the price of fuel and see what happens.

trouble with that is the ones who can afford it will stay on the road in their guzzlers, better to ban the guzzlers all together dont you think?

I do think occasionally, you cheeky thing you.

(I agree with what you say too)

it would have to comply with our regs.

According to the google calculator 70 kph = 43.4959835 mph
