Following the Nano’s failure, things at Tata aren’t exactly going according to plan (with the exception of Jaguar Land Rover that is) – as a result, the investments are currently earmarked for bolstering the current range.

Concept only, or ... ?

first impression:
1. Bottom heavy.
2. The rear reminds me of the Pontiac Aztec. I hope this doesnt go the same way.
