  • And it isn't a pipe dream. It's awesome. A car that runs on air for less than five thousand dollars. It may not do over seventy miles an hour but heck I don't live near the autobahn I live, work, and drive within the inner city.

  • If U.S. manufacturers tried to put somthing like this on the road there would be a civil war. Started by the oil Companys and the present administration. There would be blood on the highways andbyways of this nation!

  • I'd kill to have a car called a "tata." It would definitely make me feel less lonely.

  • I want one. Could somebody please tell me why the hell we couldn't have these in the US? Yes Toughth, I get the fact that the Oil companies and W don't want it, but if there is a market for it (and I believe there is), why can't it happen?

  • The car makers in America made a big, big mistake to follow the anti-social trend of an uneducated, rusted and unsophisticated generation of individuals addicted to fuel and noise pollution. That is the bad news. The good news is that I believe it still a little time to change if they do not continue to make the same mistakes all over again.

  • This technology has been around for decades, there are hydrogen cars, electric cars, bio-fuel cars, Stanley Meyer made a car that ran on WATER! Yes WATER, and guess what happened to him? He's pushing up the daisies as we speak!

    One can only speculate as to what happens to all of this technology, but now that it one aspect of it is being backed by a fairly large and profitable Indian company then we might see some progress.

    Technology = great. Aesthetics = not so great. Someone design them a better concept.

  • i've seen existing vehicles retrofitted with electrical power (as with a trunk-load of rechargable batts)...like that white 80s datsun fitted with forklift motors that phases in electrical power...saw it in a video as it beat the pants off a NEW "gasser" vet...but I wonder if it's been done with any of these other technologies. i'm too busy to google it myself right now =/

    How about Tata Young?

    I bet the Indian car sounds better,... She looks better....

    Which do you think is safer?

  • GM should take a cue from this to revive their flagging business. Innovative green technologies? No, model names that sound like female body parts!
