Doesn't look too bad although 33bhp and RWD would still make it probably faster than my 1.2 8v... so

I wonder where they got the frigin name from. Talk about branding and capitalism.
Those that saying it's 33bhp and tiny. It says it's designed for family use. Every Indian family I have seen isn't exactly small.

Probably can get away with simply rediculas £8 congestion charge etc too
Fill it up with petrol twice a year.
Tax, HA HA, well, f-all really. Prob the same as my bike, about £50 for the year.
Tyres? Can hardly se it being a wheelspinning boyracermobile.
I think its bloody ace.. For just over £1k you get a brand new (if not cheap made) car. It'll start every day, and if it only lasts you 5 years, thats still a huge saving comparing it to say a Daeoo Matixz, or Smart, or Corsa/Fiesta etc..
