Nano-The Indian Marque.

When it came to cars it always bothered me that we had nothing to claim as our contribution to the world. Our fifteen seconds of fame, our share of the pie... catch my drift!!!

The Italians had the Ferrari's n Lambhogrhini's which represented their passion and sense of style, The Germans dispalyed their engineering prowess with their Audi'n Merc's, The americans had their big trucks and Hum-Vees to show off their Muscle, Japanese had their Honda's and suzuki's to show off their tech wizadry and her majesty's factories were churning out fine examples of british opulence and subtle snobbery vis a vis Bentley's and Rolls's.

Every country had a car or dare I say a mascot in the automobile arena which represented their beliefs, values and customs.Indians had nothing to call of their own. The amby is British and the 800 is a Suzuki.


The Nano has changed all that. It has done more than proving India's engineering prowess. It has got a permamnent parking spot for india in history books. Our Two cents in the automotive dollar. The Italians have the ferrari's and Lambo's and we have our Nano. "The Indian Marque." An odd comparison you might say, but they have a lot in common.... All three of them are rare engined and rare wheel drive, come in same colours and there parents are related to each other.
