2012 Tata Nano: From Bollywood to Hollywood - Jay Leno's Garage

[@mixflip]

I have have lived next door to 2 Indian families when I was in my 20's. Both were the nicest people I have ever met. Both families would come over randomly and give me food and and tea and basically take care of me like I was their own son. Nicest people on Earth I have ever met and I have been to 13 countries.

We British had the Mini, the Americans had the Model T, the French had the 2CV, the Italians had the Fiat 500 and now India has an equivalent for themselves; a cheap, basic car to get the masses moving. No; its not got a 5-star safety rating but it's still massively safer than anything on 2 wheels, especially when carrying a whole family.

[@HeartBrokenBiker]

Got suggested this video today. Brought back memories! This was my first car back in 2009-10. $5000(usd vs rupee at that time) brand new for the Top trim. (all bells & whistles - if you may call that😁) Had to wait 9 months in backorder since booking in early 2009. Drove it over 60,000 kms while I had it. Floor it's gas and it holds at 110kmph.. while everyone zips past on highways .. we get an incredible laugh at ourselves. It's still parked at home back in India, as I left to travel. I wish my extended family drives it. Still works, runs great. Gives 20 kmpl mileage. In it's initial days, folks driving BMWs, porsches, Mercs used to get out of their car at fuel stations & walk up to request wanting to sit in the car and were always amazed to the amount of space it had. Sadly, mindset of the masses in India regarding a car is "buy to flex".. They'd rather be paying high EMIs and own a car that is bit more expensive(yet failed crash tests that nano passed), while not having money to fuel it up or drive around, cos even a parked expensive car for them is better than having fun in an affordable car. It's always "Log kya sochenge" (aka what would people think). They didn't want people to say "You have a cheap car". This has led to slow demise of sales & end of this gem of a vehicle.

[@E50AK]

Well the latter part is untrue and a vague generalization. Since the other cars have taken over in that similar price segment (like the Wagon R, Renault Kwid, Alto, etc.) and they're some of the highest selling cars in India. So clearly the market is huge for lower segment cars and the sales are huge as well, other wise only the high end models would exist. Sure people like that exist as you mentioned, but as the data proves that not the vast majority of the car owners think that way. Infact we even see people proud of owning cheap cars, going as far as heavily modifying their altos, boleros, wagon rs, etc.

Mr Ratan Tata is visionary man, he didn't think about how he will earn money from this car but he had a vision that a family is safer in this car rather on bikes.

@garrett We are talking about accomplishments here. We are not saying Tata is anti-Semitic by comparing him to Henry Ford. Regardless of what you think of Ford, he still intended to make the automobile widely available so that we could travel the country at our leisure and his thoughts on Jewish people did not influence his work with creating affordable cars. Lets not dwell in the negatives so much, it isn't healthy.

[@hyperteisco]

I sort of like to take the whole person in before touting their accomplishments. Im sure the automobile would be alive and well without Henry Ford, probably a little less sensational and more practical however. I mean he was pro Nazi, and Hitler had a portrait of him in his office. If were talking about accomplishments only here though maybe you can tell me about the finer points of Hitlers well phrased speeches?

Yep the answer is a no a big no at that. Future nano cars will be better and one day it will have ABS and Airbags etc at least as an option that's provided the shell structure is also strengthened.

[@matthewgodwin3050]

Ivan Castellino, agree, too many people misunderstand the Nano. Compared to a British small car, say a Fiesta or Corsa or something, then yes, it's nowhere near as safe. But it's not competing with those, it's concieved as an alternative, or upgrade from a Scooter / Moped, against which it is significantly safer by comparason. I certainly know where I'd prefer to be whilst driving around India. For the money, I think it's a fantastic little car.

[@cisium1184]

Maybe not safer than American or EU-produced cars, but safer than scooters and motorbikes, which are the primary motorized transport in India today. Probably easy to work on, too. I think they're cool: if they were legal in the USA I would love to have one.

I would think it would need AC, given that most of India has a very warm climate.

Aki Ami Masen I have test driven both cars, and they are not comparable in the least. They made the Nano look much nicer here than it is. The Nano was loud, like an old rickshaw engine, and with a very weak body. It was also very unstable, and I wouldn’t ever test drive this thing on an American road, as instant death on impact is very easy. Also, there are no fun cabin/digital features, as opposed to all the offerings and comfort levels of the Prius. Even the Chevy Spark is way better than the Nano. But for a poor mans automobile in India, this is a decent vehicle.

+EGHSRC oh, but thats because in usa, you cant retroactively make regulations on already approved automobiles. for example, it's illegal to drive with one side mirror, unless you have a older car made with one side mirror. they cant force you to change what they once allowed. but when a car like this one is made after the regulations are set, essentially disregarding the law. it's not allowed to be on the street. it makes perfect sense to do this.

[@EGHSRC]

Bilb Ono I'd disagree that it makes perfect sense. The only person he puts in harms way by driving it on the road is himself. If the car was somehow a danger to other people then yes it would make perfect sense, this just boils down to a simple difference in opinion between us.

[@the_original_Bilb_Ono]

+EGHSRC yes, it is a difference in opinions. an opinion that me and the western culture and usa government share.. in your opinion people should be punished for doing something that the government once said is perfectly fine to do. And not only that, but must now buy a new car or modify their exsisting car to what ever standards the government decides to set. every few years cars would become unable to drive on the road. you see this is ridiculous because the government should have made sure this car wasn't legally being sold in the first place. the car manufacturer has the responsibility of making the car correctly, thats why you have recalls.. in your world you would just be left with exploding air bags.

Tata is known for having relatively dull designs compared to other Indian car manufacturers. The interior of the Tata Safari for instance is a bit spartan, especially the audio system. It's one of the areas where Tata skimp on while focusing more on what makes the car suitable for its purpose. Tata is more of a function over form company, which is good considering their cars are great for their intended market, the Nano included.

😂😂😂 you are giving me weird ideas

[@billybobkeith9147]

I think it's a cute car! If only it was street-legal in the U.S. But a lot of the highways where I live have speed limits of 70 mph. If they made one that had a top speed of 80 mph, and had airbags, that would be fantastic.

[@edvinrakel8283]

+BillyBob Keith still dont help with airbag, the car so small and no metal so..

[@aravindmk12]

it will catch fire

[@abhignaanvg9271]

Jay your looking supper... Thanks TATA for giving a car that all can drive and have fun

[@akhilantony128]

People from outside countries mostly think that... India is just North India, poor guys and bollywood with typical dance numbers... There more to see as we are the most diverse country in the world... So diverse that even Indians have problems understanding other Indians...

[@jonrolfson1686]

Kudos for highlighting a car that upgrades transportation, making it safer and more convenient for families. मुबारक हो

[@shankysays]

0:18 I don't know if that's racist or not but we Indian definitely don't do that anywhere anytime. That's just the Bollywood.

[@princemehta1443]

Nah we do , even when we ask what's for breakfast

[@Statimtek]

Those tiny wheels are hilarious. If there was ever a car to be described as a jelly bean this is it. Jelly Belly should get one of these for their advertising campaign.

[@stevie65able28]

It was worth seeing this episode just to watch Jay in something other than denim!

[@adilabubackerpary2425]

DID HE JUST DRIFT A FRICKING TATA NANO AT THE END??? ULTRA LEGEND ALERT!!!!

[@arjunmohanp]

This is gonna be a classic someday👍

[@_chan.burn.21_]

So essentially the Tata Nano is the Volkswagen of India?

[@siddharthabhowmik]

hmm way bigger than that ....tata owns both jaguar and land rover..and different kinds of industries... from IT to making salt.... they have every kind of buisness you can think of....

[@_chan.burn.21_]

+siddhartha bhowmik Well I wasn't referring to the company's industrial size, I was more referring to the Tata Nano, in a sense, being like the original Volkswagen Beetle. Both cars are and were small, spartan vehicles that were designed to be easy to maintain, be affordable, and driven by everyone, no matter their income or social status.

[@udayrathod3786]

Tata Actually makes big vehicles like Truck, Bus and SUVs just in early 2000s they started building small affordable family cars

[@jimbob3030]

How much was an original beetle back in the day? I wonder if you adjust for inflation if this tata isn't still considerably cheaper than the beetle was.

[@friendlyatheist387]

Yeah you can say that...

[@ayush_]

I am from india but no one dances like in intro and listen to that kind of music

[@RickyRisha410]

Captain Ayush true. Very cringy. For west India's all about curry, classic music tunes on tablas and organ based instruments, dancing, cows, slum, bikes and autos drives only on roads, call centre all summing up to perception set by 'slumdog millionare'

[@Vrey662]

havent seen you bollywood?

[@kabirr3088]

Those dumbos won’t get it 😂😂😂

[@ayush_]

@@Vrey662 it was in 90s

[@nothing12299]

2:56 THE REASON WHY NANO FAILED TO AQUIRE MARKET SHARES

[@TownofJezza]

I have way more respect for Ratan's work than Ferruccio's , Ettore's or Enzo's. Anybody can build an expensive car. It takes true genius to build a cheap one that works.

[@RD-ht6go]

Tata Nano fits in the system of India so well. Some spoiled brats in Europe, east Asia and America will never understand why.

[@deviprasady8027]

5:02 The guy in the background is totally confused

[@arlindjax]

if a smart car and Prius made a baby together

[@jotuwe6091]

McLaren F1 AC replacement just dropped in price

[@amitrathore1226]

Nano makes ashamed Mc laren for their AC

[@MayankLongiany]

The great thing is, I bought my Nano just one month after this video was released. No, I didn't buy it after watching this. I'm watching this for the first time today.

[@davidtriana]

We had the Yugo from former Yugoslavia and now we have the Nano from India.

[@amit9565]

Awesome car for city driving have one n its fun to drive,huge space,fuel economy wat else i need.& guys who r shouting safety let me tell u no hatchback in india meets ENCAP rating,speed limit in india is 80km/hr for which nano is safe. Being an Indian i will always Buy Indian Products.

[@BCH37501]

The officer in the Crown Vic was getting it!

[@robertgary3561]

BCH37501 I've driven them as airport cars after the pd is done with them. They're heavy and have no acceleration. Would be very easy to outrun.

[@BCH37501]

Robert Gary lol not fast by any means, I have a workshop about a block from local PD, and you can hear them hit full throttle and nearly idle past...

[@rickperry2739]

I Love this car. I live in the city of Pittsburgh, PA. This would be great. I would weld in a couple of crossbars in the doors tho for side impacts.

[@aravindmk12]

You need rail road from that purpose

[@myprivacyworld7977]

tata stopped production of this cars u can buy only used tata nano cars now

[@harshg.9896]

@@myprivacyworld7977 Yeah, you'll probably find one for less that $500

[@praddzzz]

The main comment is 5 years ago guys. I think you should probably wait another 5 years & give him some more oversmart answers.😂

[@machine211]

The opening scene involves Indian dancing because when you visit India, this is what you see everyday

[@marshallallensmith]

"I don't think the Nano is gonna do that" Officer: *Laughs in Crown Victoria*

[@Mayank.Katihar]

They built jaguar they built land rover. ❤️from India 🇮🇳

[@kaz9242]

No Tata just own them something around 80% of the shares. They don't build them

[@jamesfeisley2810]

Ah Jay you missed out on a great opportunity to have the Cops chase you in a Grand Thief Auto style get-away!

[@NirajHirachan]

i think it cost more to cargo by plane than to buy the car itself !!

[@ManjuM-tq6cx]

Yes.. that's how we Indians live everyday. Wear filmy clothes and dance next to a car.... Jay leno surely knows how to show our lifestyle

[@Vickyrajput783]

So futuristic design even 12 years letter, rear engine, rear wheel drive, not cheap car, its a fun to drive car

[@rasmusfabernrgaard6461]

4:43 So it’s basically a 911.

[@PrashantKumar-ss5gs]

The intro was more Indian than any Indian living in india could possibly imagine.

[@Shup_bowl_]

Me: clicks the video "Stereotypical indian music plays"

[@ravenouself4181]

The Nano had some clever engineering behind it as well as some confusing decisions, like not using any parts from the parts bin.

[@shiblyahmed3720]

Now Leno , with his soccer shoes, sit down inside the vehicle and have some To Go Biryani brought by those folks with colorful medieval costumes.

[@nicologarcia]

6:34 that Crown Victoria is just freakin badass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Boz1211111]

yeah

[@tsgrishi4741]

THE JAGUAR AND LAND ROVER BRANDS ARE OWNED BY AN INDIAN

[@seanoctane1908]

oh my god, jay has a change of clothes!!!!!!

[@omarfuller]

Im kind of dissapointed he's not wearing a denim costume

[@anubratachakraborty1370]

*Thanks Jay for uplifting our cute Nano to a universal platform.*

[@doenjangstew4438]

3:40 that Hindu-ceremony is similar to in South Korea. In South Korea, Still a lot of people do that similar ceremony when they buy a car or truck or heavy construction machine or ship and any vehicle. That similar ceremony is called '고사(Go-Sa)' in South Korean.

[@vickyspar2852]

It's quite awkward for me to see the dancers stand there while Jay was explaining about the car

[@aamishra4117]

TATA then: no good cars , people choosing other cars over TATAs TATA now: Only car manufacturer in INDIA to have the reputation of making TANKS. literally

[@likithsingh7694]

I Thought this was suhel seth turned out to be jay leno

[@SKF358]

That's so cute having those dancers in this episode! But, having a car for every person on the planet is probably more than this world can handle.

[@artronicsyt]

2:42 , look at how that body is wobbling

[@sauravbarman4252]

Everyone's a Lewis Hamilton until they come to India.

[@ThumberBulls6]

5:12 Holy moly how tf are they still standing stuck like that

[@aliAkbarTV]

i did't know they had Manniquen Challenge back in the days.

[@Darkeklaw]

This is the third video I've watched on this car today and Jay's the only one to say nice things about it...

[@nikhil.k3]

Tata is a bharat ratna of India. They have contributed immensely to India. One cannot imagine India without Tata
