cause it would cost an ass load to get it to be legal in the states, and after all that, it would still have a motorcycle engine?

You could buy two and have a set of ta-tas.

Thats funny:lol:

Looks like a smart and prius had a baby. A very ugly baby.

well I guess you et what you paid for in all areas.........

I think if you got in a fender bender with that thing you would be dead.

doubles as a coffin

Sun visors are extra?:shock::lol::shock::lol::shock::lol::shock:

Bingo!

Screw fender benders, you could kick that thing and watch it roll. :roll:

Would that even qualify as a chick car?

definatly suicide!

I think its a good candidate for a Hyabusa transplant. :D

Thats what I was thinking.

You couldn't drive that car fast enough over in India to be dangerous.

For you it would.

It would be a hockey puck on the street.
Think of the g-forces that you would experience if you hit or got hit by a full sized sedan or a truck. The smaller/lighter car will go flying.

Note the mercedes keeps rolling forward. The smart car imatates a pingpong ball.

The thing is, if they are the only thing around what is gonna be bigger to hit them?

I thought "peoples car" was Volkswagen. How original.

True.

But in the U.S. their size and weight may be a concern for safety.
I dunno about the Tata but the Smart car is a joke. You can get a Honda Fit for a little more $$ and you get way more with similar economy.

$2500? For that? You'd have to pay ME to get in that thing....

I notice no mention of Zero-to-sixty times in that.

And okay, so imagine that thing getting hit by an american or German sedan. Much like the smart car in the video.

Now imagine it getting plowed into by a 4x4 Dodge Dually Diesel. :shock:

They'd be able to bury you in a zip-loc bag.
