Any one else been asked if it's 'A Tata Nano?'....

[Dave Van]

someone asked me today if my Smart was 'one of them $2500 cars from India?'....informed them it was NOT....and there is no way I'd ride in a Nano!!!

[jwight]

Yep; "Is that one of those new Indian cars?"

[burtandnancy]

I tried that, told a questioner that it was a Tata and cost $2500. They didn't buy it as I was surrounded by $7000 golf carts...

[sheureka]

That's when I bat my eyelashes and say, "No, it's a Mercedes." ;)

Earlier this week, We were showing this car off to some friends on our driveway when this guy rides up in a 2wd small pu and ask, "Is that one of those $2500 cars?".

At the time, I had no idea what he was talking about or why he would even ask.

I guess he knew about this Nano car that I didn't. I finally saw it this week on the internet.

[LinuxGuy]

Yes, a couple of times! It's funny because they don't know what the Tato Nano is either!

[tverb]

Yes, that is one of the frequent questions. I tell them that the Nano will never come to the USA. Can't meet NHTSA/EPA standards. Then proceed to tell them about my smart. As gas prices continue to climb we can be sure that more and more folks will know what smart is!!

[smartyPantz]

I would just play dumb

"a WHAT? from WHERE? Sorry, I dont know what that is"

[BigWarpGuy]

I was at a Shell station and the attendant was from India (or of Indian descent) and asked if it was a Tata Nano. I told him it was a Smart car. He said the Tata Nano got better gas mileage.

As far as I know, not legal to import them into the USA. not enough safety devices.
