the problem lies in that india dosent have the overload of “old 2500 dollar cars”

most of the population travels by train or moped.

the important point here is that the middle class in india can afford and needs a small cheap car to commute and raise a family with.

the world is modernizing around us. but who knows how much oil is going to be left for everyone.
