January 20, 200818 yr Author Wow... Looks like an Opel. Oh wait, isn't this what you guys build over there? No, that's the future of Holden! :AH-HA_wink:
January 20, 200818 yr Author That shifter looks wrong. Don't let blu see it! He said earlier he was having vivid dreams. :rotflmao: Edited January 20, 200818 yr by Pontiac Custom-S
January 20, 200818 yr Oh my, I love the angle of that shifter in the bottom picture... and look how big it is!
January 20, 200818 yr That interior looks like it would have been right at home in a '90s GM product (cheap gray plastic everywhere).
January 20, 200818 yr Honestly, for what it is, its not bad. I'm sure the materials are horribly cheap, but its a $2500 car. They did a smart thing with the dash, its symmetrical, they can easily make it LHD or RHD. Its not worse than Chrysler's CCV concept from the late 90's, which didn't even have a fuel gauge, just three LEDs, all three lit meant a full tank, 2/3 lit meant half a tank, 1 lit meant empty. Brilliant in its simplicity, I guess.
January 20, 200818 yr no more cup holders, you have a trough to hold all liquids now. well for the price, what could you expect? what kinda engine it have?
January 20, 200818 yr "What surprised most Tata executives was how the Nano appealed to women. 80% of Nano buyers were women, all of which claimed that the detachable shifter was their favorite feature..." Ten bucks that we will be reading this quote in 3 months...
January 21, 200818 yr what kinda engine it have? .6L 32BHP I think our riding lawnmowers have 25hp now
January 21, 200818 yr Funny and crappy as it may be, considering the price its not bad at all when you compare it to certain GM cars costing 10 times more.
January 21, 200818 yr See,w hat has also made me curious is why on earth would you pay for this just because it's new when you could pay the same and get a perfectly good and far superior used car for the same or even less money. I paid $2,100 for mine after all, and I got for my car for my money, that's far safer, more powerful, nicer inside and out, and much more features. This question also applies to who would buy a Chinese $h!box new whenever they make it to US soil. Of course in India it's different, but I'm just saying why would anyone in a developed country like in Europe or America where they've sold good cars for years buy one? I guess some people just gotta have `em new...even if the break after 3 days of ownership and fall apart after a month. Edited January 21, 200818 yr by Dodgefan

January 21, 200818 yr ^*cough* Kia *cough* I'm part of your school of thought, however every Kia owner I know is very happy. For college students, being able to buy a car with some premium features for much much less is a really good option...
January 22, 200818 yr I'm part of your school of thought, however every Kia owner I know is very happy. For college students, being able to buy a car with some premium features for much much less is a really good option... Problem is... With those features you get a car that pulls to the left under heavy braking, has a fuel gauge that goes backwards, and shakes real bad @ stoplights... two friends with Kias have these issue... you get what you pay for.
January 22, 200818 yr I don't think its that funny, they build a cheep commuter car, then build some larger cars until they have a full line up. The money they make in asia selling these to those who otherwise would never be able to own cars will be used to make the company stronger, and just like many never dreamed the Japs would out sell Ford/Chrysler, this may be the next threat to the big 3, at least in over seas markets.

Or alternatively, they could buy a used car with premium features and far superior quality/design/everything.
