They’re calling it the world’s cheapest car, priced same as the DVD player in a Lexus.

While I can’t vouch for that comparison, you can’t argue that $2,500 will draw some buyers. The price actually includes 4 tires, 4 doors and a steering wheel, not to mention an engine and all the other basics one needs. Indeed, the car costs far less than the bill for a used engine we just had to stick in our son’s car.

But, for now you’ll have to go to India to get one. The Tata company unveiled the 10-foot Nano there today.

From a Times article:

Citing moments in history including the first manned flight by the Wright Brothers and man’s landing on the moon, Ratan Tata, the chairman of the company, revealed a cute, compact car designed to appeal to first-time car buyers in one of the world’s fastest growing car markets.
