Why buy a Nano? Buy a 126 BIS!!

[Gordan]

Ive been reading about the "Revolutionary" TATA Nano for a while now, and no one mentioned that it isnt all that revolutionary!! Its starting to piss me off!!! Just been reading the technical spec of the car, and it has a lower max speed than a BIS!! Yes, its 105km/h, which is about the same as the aircooled 126. Not to mention that it will problee have worse build quality, less charm, and the layout is pretty much the same as that of the bis. The difference is that the BIS has 2 boots, and the Nano has 2 more doors... What the "Genious" indian engineers should have done is just produce the 126 again... think about it, a 126, built by todays technology would cost nothing, and with a modern engine with some 40hp, and modern safety standards would be a much better alternative than developing a whole new car... bah, im not mad, im just dissapionted... 
anyways have a look at the technical specs, and enjoy the fact, that there is finally a car that we can say is worse than a 126...

 For start it is ugly as ....
 I would be embarassed driving something like that.  And 35PS is not revolutionary these days. If they could get out some 23bhp from a 600cc 35 years ago...
 How much does it cost?
 Anyway it is rubbish

My point exactly!!
It costs round 2000 dollars US in india, but due to European regulations it will be improved and will cost round 3000€ in the EU...

Well ive been watching some more clips of the nano, and found out some more stuff.
I was wrong to state that it has 1 boot, it infact, just like the bis, has 2 boots, one in front and one in the back. I was also wrong when i wrote that it has 2 doors more than the bis, it has 1 more. Thats right, this wonder car doesnt have a tailgate, you acces the rear storage compartment by folding the back seats... how genious is that??? the engine is in the same position as that of the bis, but im just wondering how in the world do you fix something when you cant reach it from the outside... well this car is proving to be more and more fascinating...
oh and it does 0-60 in 8.something seconds... thats 0-60km/h, 0-100 km/h... 35 seconds..
