Should be interesting to at least follow development.

I wager that the special interests in the USA will block its importation
as they have other mini-cars.

Interesting, very interesting.
We already have an India built electric car up here, just came over a
few months ago.
Looks really different, seats three abreast, retails cheaper than any
other electric car, uses lead acid batteries though.

There was a story on another reasonable car not long ago, also built in
India or was it China? Cant remember the details..

Heh. I'd buy one just for the novelty. I doubt they will be able to sell
them in the USA though as it's hard to imagine they could live up to
safety and emissions standards. On the other hand, if they do live up to
standards all the other automakers will be in deep ****.

The car referred to here is called the Reva in India and the G-whiz in
the UK. It is a city car and would be my choice for a daily driver IF
Uncle Sam would allow them to be sold and operated here.
