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.

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.

The nano is a beautiful product and people need to understand that it's built for a price and primarily built for people upgrading from scooters and mopeds for a family of 3-4 for this Tata needs a salute 👍 Everyone who says it's unsafe well what do you have to offer for the price of a nano if I may ask? 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.

[@All2Meme]

I would think it would need AC, given that most of India has a very warm climate. What I find worrisome about the design is the high center of gravity; it looks like it would be easy to put one on its side in a tight turn or even roll it if it's going fast enough. But overall for what it was made for, it looks pretty good.

@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?

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.

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.

[@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..

[@aravindmk4073]

it will catch fire

[@asifiqbal9032]

For those who say it is unsafe. It is made for people to upgrade from two-wheelers and obviously it’s safer than a two-wheeler.

[@Shup_bowl_]

Me: clicks the video "Stereotypical indian music plays"

[@youtert]

This is a sponsored video, Jay did it in exchange for a denim sari.

[@onefivzero]

😂😂😂 you are giving me weird ideas

[@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.

[@aravindmk4073]

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

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

[@abhignaanvg9271]

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

[@stevie65able28]

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

[@noreenmcgick2355]

I haven't seen any comments about the suit, it's an absolutely beautiful suit. If I could look have as good as Jay in that suit I'd be winning at life!

[@RaJeshSinGh-rs8nb]

Its warm to see how people in comment section appreciate the efforts of tata in creating a car thats affordable. And If you are an Indian in the comment section, No ! they arnt making fun of the car nor Tata. Its how they convey themselves, its called humor, please stay light hearted. And thanks again for much love from you guys for Nano.

[@sourmiIk]

Most of the people in the comment section are being blatantly racist. Don't act like they're jokes.

[@rasmusfabernrgaard6461]

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

[@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.

[@_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...

[@adilabubackerpary2425]

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

[@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...

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

[@jonrolfson1686]

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

[@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.

[@nicologarcia]

Are those dozen dancers standing there as intimidation to get a good review lol

[@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

[@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'

[@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.

[@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.

[@marshallallensmith]

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

[@PrashantKumar-ss5gs]

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

[@aliAkbarTV]

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

[@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.

[@ravenouself4181]

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

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

[@achintyaaatreya]

I just can't believe to see this car in USA. I mean, it's a tiny Indian car with the heart of a motorcycle. 2 cylinder 600cc is tiny when you compare them to 6.2 V8s in America. Quite interesting Jay talks of taking out A/C from a 2 grand car and fitting it in a 20 million McLaren F1.

well ratan tata(chairman of tata grp) once saw a middle class family going by a scooter (3 members) and ratan tata could see their discomfort and predict by the traffic that they were vulnerable . Well after a few minutes after the scooter had gaped his car due to the traffic and at the next corner he found that they had met an accident so that was the day he thought to make a car which was affordable by middle class families. Truly humble and genius in a sense .

[@Coloreddragon23]

Their clothes probably cost more than the car 😂
