Who wants a new Tata?

Just one? Don't they come as pairs?

Dang, beat me to it.

Hell yes, but I don't see how the supply could possibly keep up with the demand. I.e., 2 grand turns into 10 grand quickly.

I hear the performance is nice and perky when new, but tends to sags when they get older...

Brings a whole new meaning to the bumper stickers that I've started to see in support of breast cancer: Save the tatas!

ROFL

I don't think they'll be able to sell them that cheap in the US once they get it to meet our requirements here.

But, for $2300 I'd see it as a no maintenance required vehicle. Drive it till the engine freezes up, roll it to the scrap metal yard, buy a new one.

I agree. I'm hoping the car is 100% recyclable, but I doubt it. Which means there will be an environmental cost.

Oh hell yeah, buy one used at 1 year old and it will be challenge priced

I see a spec series!! Imagine, a NEW car to use as a race platform. Cage, seat, and maybe a bigger tire/wheel pack (since 12" performance tires are hard to find). You could go racing for under $4000 including gear.

Heck, at 1300 lbs, you could even tow it with almost anything.

Just imagine a bunch of multi-colored jellybean looking cars on a track. It'd be hilarious and cool all at the same time.

Silicone is the recommended to keep your Tatas looking like new...

But if you do that, then everyone will know you have fake Tatas!

Thanks fox. I needed a good laugh after the week I've had.

Down here in Medellin Colombia, all of the taxis look exactly like that picture. Surprisingly roomy inside! (you should see the tiny little panel vans, like dwarf 80's Toyota vans.)

can we get a bra for the tatas?

Can I vote Hell No!? First I think that car would flip in the first crosswind. It looks a jelly bean and it is called a Tata.
