This thing gets 50 miles per gallon, with "no shortcuts on safey or emissions." And yet, the enviro wackos hate it:

Proof positive that the greenies won't rest until we're back in the stone age. By any standard, this car is an example of innovation, and will improve the lives of people in India and elsewhere.

How much do you want to bet the wackos quoted in the article own and drive a car?

All those cars represent new emissions. That is why he is concerned.

At the very least, all of those cars represent a greater demand for gasoline. If the cars take off you can expect to pay quite a bit more at the pump.

In other words "its bad enough regular people are driving their cars, now all these swarthy hindus are going to have one too."

A person in India has every right that anyone in the west has to private transportation if they can afford it. They're good people. They should be able to drive themselves around if its in their budget.

And once they change over from the scooter-clogged streets and replace them with bigger cars, they can enjoy the benefits of the modern traffic jam which will be much worse than it is now in developed areas of India.
Maybe they're just jealous of Rome.

Ain't civilization grand?

That's their right. I drive throught traffic jams all the time and prefer it over a scooter or riding the bus.

they have traffic jams you wouldn't believe WITHOUT more people having affordable cars.

Bullshit. This car is a nightmare. It will put a few more billion poeple in cars. I don't care what mileage it will get. It will create a dependency that might not exist otherwise, and next thing you know these people will be behaving just like us.

Cars do not improve peoples lives. Cars destroy the ecosystem, and a destroyed ecosystem destroys the lives of people.

How do you know that the cars won't improve the lives of the people of India? I know that without my vehicle, I would have to walk about 12 miles to work or pay about $25 a day in cab fare so I can honestly say that cars improve my life.

That's right, Andrew...keep them in the dark ages so YOU can drive YOUR car.

Yes.

Never been to Waikiki. Have no interest in going. I don't do the tourist thing well.

O'ahu has, what, about 900,000 people? On a nearly 600 square mile island?

Go see traffic in LA. Then go back and bitch.

God forbid the ignorant savages should start wanting to behave like civilized people, huh?

So you're selling your car, divesting yourself of all worldly goods, and living a natural existence starting tomorrow right?

You're not? Then STFU. Really. The hypocrisy you display on this topic is astonishing.
