Tata Nano (1 lakh, US$ 2,500)unveiled at the New Delhi Auto Expo today, boasting a 30-horsepower 624-cc engine; a four-speed manual transmission; a disc/drum brake setup; room for five, claimed fuel economy of 54 US miles per gallon, no power steering, only a fuel gauge, speedometer, oil light and car meets safety and environmental standards.

More power to the people, of course, but the people better be prepared for higher fuel costs, more pollution and more congestion.

(That is indeed a bit rich coming from someone who owns a car.)
