It is due out this summer in India. Not futuristic at all. Just the kind of "thinking outside the box) ingenuity that the US used to lead in. Imagine engines running of compressed air. There really are no limits.

I've been to India a few times as I'm Indian and I have to admit...the drivers are crazy! There are no lanes, people are constantly walking through traffic and a ton of potholes.
Tata is a very popular car brand in India. I wouldn't dare drive my S class or GL on those roads because the roads are very tight packed and people are always brushing past the bumpers (leaving scratches of course). My Parktronic sensors would be going off like crazy! haha

Tata also owns Jaguar and land Rover I believe. India is on my list of "must see places". This little car sounds like it would be perfect!!!

I think Tata could have a great ad campaign in the US. If nothing else, the promise of new Tatas would get'em into the showroom. "A pair of Tatas in every driveway".

ads in europe or some other countries are way funnier than here and some probably will be rated r if ever have a chance to broadcast. wish we could see something like a man staring at the garage across the street and talking to his buddy, "dude, her tatas are bigger than my wife's!"
