World's cheapest car coming to the U.S.A.

Not sure why you'd spend $10k on a car that is clearly worth far less.

Try about $15k for a Toyota Yaris. At least it's a real car and won't fall over when some kid rides their bike into it.

I've seen the skateboard with a cover called the Yaris, even at half the price it's not worth buying, I would be too scared a runaway shopping cart might knock it over

I used to work with a kid that drove a Smart Car, his Mom got it for an extra 3k when she bought a Mercedes, he stopped driving it because on anything that wasn't an empty back road the thing would get really unstable and dangerous to drive, and it barely had enough power to get up the one hill he had to hit by taking the back roads so it became the occasional cart for making quick runs to the store in town

That truck would fall apart on impact.

You'd need a Dodge:

Pfft get on my level Son. :laugh:

$15k is a 50% increase from $10k.

So yeah.

Also very skeptical in general, since Indian companies/goverment tend to announce things quite ofter that never actually happen, I take the stance of "believe it when I see it".

Indeed, we in the UK are still waiting on the Tata Nano to debut over here. That's supposed to cost somewhere over ?3,000 here after all the modifications necessary to make it road-legal in the EU (in its original Indian spec, it only has one wing mirror, and no airbags, for example), but that was two years ago. We've heard nothing since. However, the cheapest new car in the UK recently launched: the Dacia Sandero.

Equivalent to $9,600, so only a few hundred cheaper than the US-spec Nano.

People are not going to buy those things here. We have an obsession with our cars.

I believe that. I've never seen so many smashed up/dented cars the various times I've stayed in America. :rofl:

So yeah.

When the original car is worth a fraction of the new $10k price, you're way better getting a proper car.
