Permission to run over their toes.

If someone asked me that question, I would affirm that it is indeed that Indian car and proceed to to show them all the great things you get for just $2500. They will no doubt want one and when they research, they can find out for themselves how stupid they are so you don't have to point it out or be mad. Give them the website tatamotors .com. On their front page, their is a moving jpg picture of that hidious vehicle in all its $2500 glory.

Actually we prefer to be called American Indians, and would like to see the immigrants from India called either Indian Americans or Hindustani Americans.

That car is ugly! I wonder how much they paid the CEO of Ferrari to say he likes the car?

The Tata Nano is relatively nice for some one who can't afford any other car, from their point of view is a huge upgrade from a bicycle, moped, and other local vehicles.
Keep in mind it's not intended for "US WEALTHY AMERICAN INDIANS"

I don't think Americans are stupid at all. Some may be somewhat uninformed and some (like me) don't watch the news (too despressing) at all. As for running over toes, that's just not nice.

Instead, how about a nice big smile and a, "Nope, it's not. Have a great day!" Our cars smile at us and others, shouldn't we do the same?
