At Ksh 180,000 (brand new)this car is arguably the cheapest car on earth,very comfortable,doom shaped,enviromental friendly and with adequate space..where are the orders?

That manufaturers cannot meet even the order in China which stands at 500,000 yet they can only produce 50,000 in one year!!!!

@Mcreggae,

India....Not China......and that damn thing they calling a car.Tis a contraption.....No radio,a/c,airbags and it's chiefly of plastic and glue.....If you don't like safety,you buy it but driving that thing on Kenyan roads is more riskier than crossing Uhuru highway during peak hours with a blindfold.........anyway,going by it's demand in the Orient,it won't be here until 3020.......

It looks 'cute' and unlike the nyayo car,the nano works!

@n'junge
ever been to India?? I dont think so.. those roads are 1000 times busier then our roads... and the Tata Nano has been proven safe for use there... so what is Uhuru Highway??
it not having all the luxuries that you talk of is what makes it cheaper....
Its a car for the people not for THE PEOPLE...

I should go buy shares of Kenol & Total coz that would boost consumption to crazy levels coz @180,000 it cheaper than buying furniture @ Nakumatt (150,000 sofa sets)

@Reddice,

I dude who tested the car confesses that the Nano is not your intercity car.......basically given it's defficiency in safety terms.Come to think of it,it's targeted for the Asian market of 4 wheel car dreamers......it's far much better than taking your two kids to school on a scooter........The newly launched Indian version cannot conform to safety requirements in Europe and US......Thus they have come up with the CX and LX models.....This might have airbags,powersteering and hopefully an auto transmission.......

I am in Kenya... AFRICA... where most people do not own a bicycle. So the Nano is great for Kenyans. EXCEPT (as someone commented) the roads in Kenya are lousy. Lakini as a in-city car it might be cheaper to drive (fuel consumption) and park (less space needed).
