The Doctor Who Quiet Book

I want one, too! But I bet they wouldn't have the governent-mandated safety features required here. That adds a lot of weight and $$$ to a car.

Already been sold in Malaysia, it's a made in China car but not with that soo cheap price tag. I think the brand is Chery QQ. The price,RM40K (divided by 3.8 to convert to USD.)

This seems like the worst idea ever from an environmental standpoint. With millions of more people in developing nations now able to afford a car, we can use up the remaining oil that much more quickly. Hooray for that!

Beezy, good point ... but from an environmental standpoint one of these cars (which gets well over 40mpg) is far better for the environment than the average American car (under 20mpg).

If we really cared about the environment, we'd all be driving these cars ... or asking our government to add a 100%+ tax on all new cars like they do in the Netherlands.

I do not know about Renault-Nissan or any Chinese car.
Tata Motors, in India, is in the process of setting up a new car plant in West Bengal, India to manufacture a 4-seater compact car costing Indian Rupees 100,000 i.e. USD 2500 ( @ INR 40/USD ).
This car is of the base-variety and will be powered by a Euro III compliant 600 cc engine.
The Price is ex-factory and with taxes etc. will cost about INR 125,000 i.e. USD 3125.

I own a 79´ Opel Kadett C (I think its called a Chevette in the USA as i live in Denmark). It has 52 HP and runs 60-70 miles per gallon. due to its dated (and therefor simple) technology it is very easy and cheap to repair. So just go back in time for cheap wheels. (But lets not talk about safety and emission :-) )

If we really cared about the environment, everybody would be driving big SUVs. That way, oil reserves would be depleted sooner, leading to accelerated development of alternative fuels. And ethanol isn't the answer, since it takes more energy to produce than it provides, and pollutes more than regular petrol.

Americans are always in trouble for our gas-hog SUVs, but we're not given options like this. Blame the greed of the auto manufacturers, not the ordinary little person.

I want one!! It's that or a motorcycle....WHY DON'T THEY SELL THEM HERE !!!

fuck it its disscusting i would rather go walking!!!
