Don't knock it, rear engined potential beast. Slap a turbo in and you might have a Charade GTI special.
Tata Motors People's Car
Wonder if Litchfield could get them in for us?

The 'one lakh' car becomes a reality. TATA really are a car company on the up. Next stop Jaguar.
It's an interesting counterpoint to the failure of Fuji Heavy Industries car division.

More like 4 grand but the point stands. I would imagine emission regs in europe would also be a problem.

I do wonder sometimes about people on here and their ability to reason.
It's a revolutionary car in many ways. I imagine people poked fun at the original mini when they first saw it........

Think its a brilliant car for the money if you think about it. £1200 wont buy you much in the way of a decent car with reliability at the minute over here will it.
As said though I cant see it being less than £2-3k over here.

My mate was headhunted by TATA a few years back, he was the QA manager for the Aston Vanquish. Haven't spoken to him for a while, but TATA will be moving into Europe with their cheap cars.

I knew about Jaguar, didnt know they were serious in buying out Land Rover.
But in all honesty I think Jaguar will be worse off at TATA. Nothing against TATA as they are a very large car maker. The problem is since take over from FORD Jaguar has lost the real "expensive" feel. My point is that if one of the worlds largest car makers struggled to convince people that Jaguar is still Jaguar, how on earth will TATA convince people unless they aim to market it in India.

but you see the problem in india is. The wealthier are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. The number of wealthy people wont increase much but the already wealthy will be verrrry wealthy by ten years. Maybe even have our next richest man from there lol

Some of the wealthiest people I know are from India or living and working there. TATA is just one of the agressive, succesful companies that are becoming players in western economies.
It won't be long until they are outsourcing their call centres to the UK.

I wont go as far as saying they would outsource their call centres to the UK. Being wealthy does not mean excessive spending. Uk companies are going to india to cut costs and your telling me an Indian who already has the option of saving money will increase their overheads for no real reason.
