As much as I hate the name, they run Indian business. They love anything Tata there and they make everything, its kinda like LG. But having such an affordable car is a bad thing for the environment and traffic

havent we raped Mother Earth in her holes enough? if those mini monstrosities hit the streets of the modern world, were gone.....

if they made this thing run off of bio-diesel or something then thats good but i highly doubt thats the case.

I've been hearing all about this on the news, reading it, etc. I understand that a lot of people feel its bad for the environment.

Here's my beef though:

What gives western society the right to drive around in Hummers, Escalades, and all our other vehicles, polluting the atmosphere. Then we whine and say how much of a catastrophe it is that the Indians are getting a low-cost car that will enable some more of their people to drive. I think the current figures were about 1 in a 1000, have a car. I'd be surprised if the North American number was less than one in twenty.

Once again, I understand there is a definite environmental impact from all this - but what gives the western world the right to consume all we do and then complain about the rest of the world starting to use resources?
