"People's Car"
Here is a link to an interesting article from the NY Times on the new $2,500 car to be offered for sale in India. It is small, light and likely would not pass Western emissions standards, much less crash standards. However, as one expert said, it is much safer on the road for the driver than a bike would be, so it is safer than the present mode of transportation for most of its intended buyers.
Note also that this is the company which is a likely buyer for Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford.
