An transportation revolution


Yesterday an Indian car company, Tata, launched the world's cheapest car. At $2500 (US dollars) the four seater "Nano" is less than twice the cost of it's nearest competitors. It has been dubbed "the people's car." This car could change the face of transportation in devleoping countries all over the world.


The release of this car has been covered by newspapers all over the world, including the New York Times. They have likened it to Henry Ford's contirbution to the car world.


Critics complain that this will worsen the smog and pollution problems that already exist in India.


It is interesting to see history in the making.

I think that car might have a weight requirement and is not allowed in America;hence, specifically, Mississippi.
