Thus Spake Nano

Lindsay talks about Tata's Nano, a four-passenger car. Tata Nano rolled on stage in March 2009 accompanied by the fanfare from Richard Strauss's Thus Spake Zarathustra. Ten-feet-long and egg-shaped, with a roomy interior but dinner-plate-sized wheels and a lawnmower engine, the Nano gets some 56 miles per gallon -- on par with the electric hybrid Chevrolet Volt. And its emissions are considerably lower than the typical Indian motorbike or auto rickshaw, which both spew noxious black exhaust. Adapted from the source document.
