Does it come with airbags?

Tata does everything, they are a huge conglomerate.

Those Tatas are HUGE in India.

awe fiat !

"Tatas - I'd hit it!"

This thread is worthless without pics of Indian tatas.

Cue the tata pics

*rapidly clicks refresh*

I understand that if you get a matched pair of the bigger model Tatas, you'll often find junk in the truck as well.

I'm shocked that no one has posted the FHM Mini yet....

27 seconds, VCH, 27 seconds.

-1 subby, it's the world's cheapest car.
I wonder how well it'll hold up when it falls off one of those mountain roads.

/cheap tatas for everyone!

Bollywood star Mallika Sherawat approves of Tatas.

I'd like to second the motion for some Indian tatas here.

/Can't possibly be the only one who thinks there are a suprising number of smokin' hot Indian chicks.
/Hibidy-bibidy, please. Not woo-woo. Actually, either works. Kthnxbai.

Ahh.

Next up: Weiner Mobile

.....Wait, Oscar Mayer has that already....

So can we get a picture of this car?

\At work
\\Too scared to GIS for "tata"

I owned one of their cars once, stupid thing was sagging after six months due to lousy suspension.

Okay, so far Nightsweat is winning showing a fine pair, anyone wanna raise?

Ha, I knew about his company. Bought some stocks in it a year ago for applied investment management class for a game. Did very well for my team.
Now looking at the stock we bought it when it was around $14.

/my team came in first place of 7 other teams in class. :D

For now, in India at least, Tatas come in one color: brown.

First cheap-guns, then cheap cars flooding the streets.

Someone stop the madness of these killing machines.

Won't someone think of the Tata's!!?

Will probably go the way of the Yugo - in the junkyard 2 years after purchase.

They are also going to build compressed air cars.

Yes, but will Salman Rushdie write a book about it?

Pics people, PICs! What good is this story without the PICs?

We've got $2,500 cars over here. Perhaps you've heard of this brand: UsEd. And they don't come unglued when it rains.

I wonder if they sell bikinis for Tatas yet.

Indian automobile manufacturer want to curry favor with cheapskates everywhere...

Kias are crap, Daewoos are even crapier, and now this Tata is really the crappiest. Then I looked up Daewoo on Wiki to see what year they rolled out, and lo and behold "Daewoo commercial vehicles division was sold to Tata Motors of India". Nuff said!

floridian62: I owned one of their cars once, stupid thing was sagging after six months due to lousy suspension.

You win, my friend. You win.

I once saw a newspaper ad that said "Buy a Tata truck, and get three pigs and 100 Kilograms of rice for FREE."

My dad still has the clipping somewhere. I really need to find it and scan it.

From grundes article:
Tata Motors has signed with MDI of France for application in India of MDI's path-breaking technology for engines powered by air.
The MDI Group is headed by Mr. Guy Negre, whose dream was to pioneer an engine using just compressed air as fuel - which may be the ultimate environment-friendly engine yet.

Please Negre please, make this come true!

Tata's car will not conform to European safety and emissions norms

Really? I'm shocked. Cripes, a catalytic converter for my car costs $1200 alone.

"If it's got tatas or tires, it's going to give you trouble."

Oh Negre PLEASE!

good luck trying to find a large enough rubber band when it breaks down...

I found a pic but can't seem to get it into the post. any techies wanna give assistance?
It's a goofy looking car anyway

The Icelander
Boobies aside, they are doing really well keeping this car out of the media. I have seen no spy pics or even sketches. They must have the same o muerta arrangement as the actors on the Sopranos.

Here is one vague drawing:

It looks similar to a Renault 2cv.

Can anyone prove me wrong? or just distract us with more tata, lower case 't', pics?

BONUS - it is likely to have a CVT

Thank god that POS will never make it to the U.S. It would be a disaster. (like some have mentioned: the Yugo) Rest easy American Auto Makers, India does not have the technology to destroy you.

Zeander, yes Kia's are crap. My next car will probably be a honda.

I hear the company's run by a bunch of boobs.

/I have no idea.

"Tatas - I'd hit it!"

I had a Tata once, but I forgot to put on the parking break, and it sank into Lake Titicaca.

One problem with the new car, not mentioned in TA, is you can't get the stench of curry out no matter how many times you wash it.
