Tata Nano now on roads....

Recently I got to see the Nano near my house.The car has been designed with a family in mind, has a roomy passenger compartment with enough leg space and head room. It was the top model (LX) which had a three spoke steering wheel.The dash of the car has been designed in such a manner that they can easily produce left hand drive models as the instrument cluster is placed in center of the dash and the design of dash is same on both sides.

The exteriors look too compact, The tyres seem to be too  small, equivalent to any three wheeler (auto rickshaw) .The rear looks like the old Indica, with almost same kind of tail lamps.

All in all the car looks a bit odd and unusual when seen closely.
