    This car has an story behind it...
    When Ratan Tata(owner) was going on a business meeting in his car on a day having heavy rainfall, he saw on one scooter, 4 people struggling against the rains and pot holes, father was driving with a 4 or 5 year old standing between him and handle and mother was carrying a toddler in her arms who was probably ill....this moved his heart and then he thought to make a car for people who can't afford a car(there are plenty in India and probably other countries too) hence nano came into production.....it is not made to compete with anyone...it is made to keep your family dry in rain and in shade during hot noon..that's it.

    Tata was actually developing a second-generation car when they pulled the plug on the original Nano. There were prototypes running about and everything. It looked a lot like the previous car, but it was supposed to be improved in every way. There would be a proper crash structure with airbags, fuel-injection, a performance option, an electric option... the works basically. They cancelled it partly because of the OG Nano's slow sales and partly because the price of the new car would have made it a competitor to Tata's next car up, the Tiago. Similarly, the performance version would have gone up against the performance variant of the Tiago ( the Tiago JTP).
    There were still rumours that the Electric variant would be manufactured for fleets, and a pilot program WAS conducted, but Tata went ahead and launched an electric variant of the Tiago sedan (the Tigor) Instead

    It's got equipment levels like a 1950s economy car, which I think is great. It reminds me of the 1973 Hillman Avenger base model I once had, where they'd deleted things like the fresh air vents, the door switches for the courtesy lamp, the wiring for the reverse lights, and the exterior mirrors.
