Well, there is that. Unfortunately something like that seems to be the new
corporate model for the US. You don't really need healthcare either! Oh
wait, Indians have that. Sorry, just grousing, I don't mean to start a war
over this crap, I'm as annoyed as everyone here. Next subject... !


 As far as stripped down, how stripped do you want it?  Go to the GM website

Hell, I want my CARS like that!

If I were to buy a Tata (fat chance) it would be the bottom line stripper.
Not even an outside mirror! Why do anything half way? I'm morally opposed to
power steering and power brakes, and increasingly, to automatic
transmissions, though I do like A/C I admit on long trips.

Even the NY Times reviewer wrote that some thing wasn't necessary "in the
unlikely event of high speeds". 65mph tops.

Even if the Tata were to double in price, you could pay cash and carry it in
the trunk as a spare.

No one laughs at VW Beetles anymore.
