iTata Nano

it's only the beginning of 2008 and the world is seeing transformational events. Just saw the little $2500 buggy from Tata called Nano - riding a bit of iPod craze, hey? - popping up on autoblog with video showing 2001 a space odyssey themed launch. wot a brilliant idea - a car that cost 2.5 grand and most indian/chinese can buy with 2 months salary. if this thing even have 3 star euro-NCAP it's gonna rock the whole shit. so now we've got this, what a fitting time to salivate the astronomical difference in world automotible scene today: let's just pick an expensive car for fun: a lambo cost half a mill plus change, how many Nano can u get for a lambo:? $500,000/ $2,500 = 500/2.5 = 200.

oh wait, this is not extreme enough

Bugatti Veyron (oh yes): $1,200,000 / $2,500 = 1200/2.5 = 2400/5=480

so the most expensive car today can get almost 500 of the cheapest car. Come to think of it, the key of a Bugatti probably cost more than the Tata. and didn't they say Bugatti's after shave cost 1000 pound??!
