I think that could be the 1 lac car.

Probably Tata has 4-seater/4-door versions too in the pipeline. But that could cost a bit more than a lac.

This car surely looks real smart, just like the Smart for 2, but am sure this is never going to make as a "1 lakh car" at all! thats for sure! Thou Tata could think of it as a 2 lk car maybe even that segment is still less populated.

If this is the 1 lakh car, i guess what you see is what you get. there is not going to be anything inside the car. maybe we will have to drive like flinstones. that would keep the lot of us very fit & safe.

Rightly said dude, look at the tyres, no way they would have those tyres on a one lakh car man. They would probably put up reallyyyyyyyyyy puny ones.

Dude,

You are dreaming if you are thinking there will be that much space between autos and cars.. Come to bangalore and drive down the maratha halli bridge.. You will realize what I mean ).

'Basic Amenities' ??? how basic do you think ? it could get really basic like no wheels or no engine ?

Hey ....

What are we all debating about here? Of course the image might be made up, but they are specifically referring in the ad to a "mini car coming out of india for euro 2000" - so which in effect means it is tata's one lakh car. Whether two or four seater is something tata will have to decide, but I strongly believe the future would see more of these two seaters coming up with different gearbox options and fuel options. thats the way this industry has to move logically speaking!
