amazingly, tata india unveils a US$2500 car, the nano.
flimsy as it may seemed, it is safer than say riding on a bike (relatively speaking).
if it makes it to sinkapore, the gahmen sure headache....

It is painfully slow, top speed 104km/h. Hope it does not come to S'pore.

Good for the low income earners who can't afford a decent car
-
sooner or latest , it will reach sg
-
At US$2,500/- suppose to be a people 's car in India
But by the time it hit Spore road most people here riding bikes and taking buses would still find to it hard to afford one.why ?
110 % additional registration fees on the import price
30% custom tariff
Certificate of entitlement (a picece of paper) US$10,000 current rate, GST etc
final price = still vey expensive for a biker, even though car of such capacity- micro car, dont need a driver license in some Europeans countries. -
first modern car with... 4 wheel drum brakes! at least you wun have to worry about dusty black front wheels

If Tata Nano really comes to SG, those people driving it have to siam expressway..
Also a good thing la..can avoid a lot of ERP gantries dotted along expressways.. -
read on my paper today, the car has a amazing FC of 20km/l but something that a car have it doesn't, which is the most important in our region, AIR CONDITION, and it doesn't have electric windows, power steering and it says that two deluxe models will be on offer.
its' capacity: five-seater, four doors -
i think they shoulld know abt the mkt they are selling in...
if they are to really bring the car to sg mkt, they will modified the sg variant to one with air con surely..
else not much ppl will buy -
its a RWD.. rear wheel drive mai siao siao. mayb can drift..
there a deluxe version which included aircon..

This is suppose for being introduce in the India market to reduce the amount of scooters there and i dont think it will have a showroom here mostly if people want this car should have to parallel import itOriginally posted by mh2:sooner or latest , it will reach sg -
OMG!!!! DriftOriginally posted by silver fish:its a RWD.. rear wheel drive mai siao siao. mayb can drift..

I think mostly likely it will roll instead of drift -
AIYAH no aircon never mind just put a propeller on its roof den very windy liaoOriginally posted by kikenfire88:read on my paper today, the car has a amazing FC of 20km/l but something that a car have it doesn't, which is the most important in our region, AIR CONDITION, and it doesn't have electric windows, power steering and it says that two deluxe models will be on offer.

No power steering and electric window also never mind since the government wants its citizens to lead a healthy life style so treat it like exercising you hand loh. But this car cant let old people drive, they're hand will break when they try to turn the steering wheel -
They will forever have a market of selling luxury items no matter the Tata Nano makes its way here or not..Originally posted by reddressman:else how can rich businessmen continue their lives of luxury selling expensive things? -

THIS WILL BE MY DEFINITION FOR THE WORD 'PROGRESS'.
many have old-economy mentality that things the more expensive it is, that is the more progress.
cost of living. Making it more and more and super expensive. what porgress is that? -
How wrong can your definition be? Take for example I can afford a pair of Gucci loafers selling at $500, made of genuine leather. I can wear it for 15 years maybe?so it'll cost about $33.33 per year. Compared to let's say I buy a pair of leather shoes from Bata which only costs me $39.90. But I can only wear it for year before I have to buy a new pair. $39.90 x 15 years = $598.50. I actually spent $98.50 more than if I just buy the Gucci loafers at $500. And think about how much leather I've saved.Originally posted by reddressman:ABILITY TO MAKE THINGS CHEAPER AND BETTER.

So making things cheaper doesn't mean progress. -
u are wrong... but i don mean things cheaper do progress or nv progess. but is c wat thing u buy. i brought a watch for $10 4 years ago from bugis street. now still working fine.. lets say my watch can onli last for 4 years, i lived for 80years means $80years/4years x $10 = $200.. $200 to last me for 80 years. those watch lik rolex or a normal branded 1 lik seiko might cost more than tat to last for 80 years...Originally posted by alleggerita:How wrong can your definition be?

so muz depend on wat things u are buying. in singapore don need to buy so expensive car. can drive from A to B can liao. even u drive a most safety car, it cant even hav the ability to protect u against bus, truck or any big monster on road. ur time is up means no matter how u siam u also will die 1 la. some ppl wan die also cant die end up body here break there break, worst . buy so expensive car end up 10 years down the road or 5 years down the road u sell ur car change car liao -.-. and buying a expensive car let say ard $60,000. plus ur road tax ur petrol ur carpark ur maintence, i think u can take cab for life liao.. now cab increase price, everywhere also c cab. even price increase i don think it can even b more expensive than u own a car. go calculate.

a car with max speed of 104km/h and wheel bearings to tahan up to only 70km/h... no creature comfort... stuff glued together.. hollowed out shafts... 2 cylinder engine like motorcycle liddat...
in my opinion tata can only tap the lowest end of the market(as what they claimed) in their own hometown...
i think car only suitable for village driving...
and things more and more expensive is not a sign of retardation... ever heard of inflation???
so i guess u are for tata coming to sg..... then when too many tom dick and harry gets to own cars.. govt set up more gantries... then u come in with a thread say u think there is no sln for traffic congestion problem....then u kbkb govt in speaker's corner again... then govt increase prices of car... u say make things more expensive is not sign of progress... so u are for buying tata... then eh... complete one full cycle....
knn did u suddenly realise most of the thing u say machiam trap in a contradictory vicious cycle.... -
60k is the price of a normal jap sedan... and its not considered expensive relative to other high end cars...Originally posted by silver fish:u are wrong... but i don mean things cheaper do progress or nv progess. but is c wat thing u buy. i brought a watch for $10 4 years ago from bugis street. now still working fine.. lets say my watch can onli last for 4 years, i lived for 80years means $80years/4years x $10 = $200.. $200 to last me for 80 years. those watch lik rolex or a normal branded 1 lik seiko might cost more than tat to last for 80 years... so muz depend on wat things u are buying. in singapore don need to buy so expensive car. can drive from A to B can liao. even u drive a most safety car, it cant even hav the ability to protect u against bus, truck or any big monster on road. ur time is up means no matter how u siam u also will die 1 la. some ppl wan die also cant die end up body here break there break, worst . buy so expensive car end up 10 years down the road or 5 years down the road u sell ur car change car liao -.-. and buying a expensive car let say ard $60,000. plus ur road tax ur petrol ur carpark ur maintence, i think u can take cab for life liao.. now cab increase price, everywhere also c cab. even price increase i don think it can even b more expensive than u own a car. go calculate.
and if u are considering tata nano as cheap alternative that can get u to A to B.. get this.. top speed 104km/h... sure it can get u from A to B... but can u do it with a reasonable amount of comfort???
and u cant base ur argument on superficial outrageous claims of fate and monetray calculations alone...
pple buy safe cars for a peace of mind.. also pple buy high end luxury models as a symbol of wealth... to show off to clients tt they are doing well...
ur above post seems like a serious case of sour grapes...
