As Tata is the “Nana” of the India motor industry I guess that is ok

By the way, I hear that a lot of foreigners have heard and read about the Nano on one hand and know about Tata’s acquisition of Jaguar on the other – both being opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of image and comfort. So there is a mental image chasm for them and probably models like Manza might be right the bridge, if they make the right headlines. Your thoughts?

Please note correction in my last comment.. ‘a high-spec version of the Nano’ (not Nana haha) that would mean Tata Motors has gotten into developing Grandfathers!! (bad one I know, couldn’t resist it)

Speaking of the Nano. Tata Motors is developing a high-spec version of the Nana for the foreign market. It will therefore meet with stringent safety regulations/requirements and will generally be a more well rounded and mature package than the indigenous bare-bones car. Keep your fingers crossed, it might be sold in the domestic market too. Sometime in the 2nd half of 2010 perhaps!

That is perfect for the Indian buyer i guess…What i honestly would like to see is a ‘proper’ version of the Nano!

Truth be told, it’d be hard to dismiss the Linea. But that’s just it. If one were to go in for the Linea, its also vitally 1-2 lacs dearer (depending on the city) than its counterpart (in terms of spec) Manza. So while the Linea might be a better car, the Manza undercuts it for price
