Conclusion

From the Paper:

"Yes, the name is funny. But this Indian company recently unveiled what may be the most exiting and important innovation in motor vehicles since hybrids. Tata has created a small, fuel-efficient $2,500 car that is the first car ever conceived that is likely to be affordable for the vast majority of the residents of the developing world. The populations of China and India are expanding exponentially, and have more disposable income, and wider distances to travel on their commutes. They wish to become car owners and car drivers, and Tata will satisfy this need without breaking their bank accounts."
