The $2,900 People's Car will be unveiled in India.
Will Tata be a hit sale or will the environmentalists ruin its chances?
India's “People's Car” has yet to be unveiled but some Indians are already raving about Tata Motors' new $2900 vehicle — despite environmentalists' fears.
Environmentalists predict a plague of ever-cheaper cars and ever-swelling clouds of climate-changing fumes.
Tata will unveil its 100,000-rupee car tomorrow.
Selling for less than half the price of the current cheapest car in the market, it hopes it will tap into the growing ranks of India's middle class — rather like the Volkswagen Beetle did in Germany or the Mini in Britain.
Several more-established middle- class consumers said it would make for an affordable second car.
Tata Motors says a lot of the fears are unfounded. It says the car will meet emission standards and car sales are already growing fast without the help of the People's Car.
Considering the cheapness of Tata cars do you think it would have a promising future in Australia?
