... or public transport, or sophisticated on-demand vehicle allocation etc. What I find a bit silly, though, is saying outright that a certain concept is less environmental, responsible or moral. Just today it was reported that European Parliament had labelled V8s "bad" and recommended four cyls instead in a report called "CARS 21" (Autosport reported it in relation to F1, FIA and Mosley). From an engineering/sustainable standpoint such statements appear completely inessential in relation to the real World technical/environmental problems and their solutions. I'll have to look the whole report up, I hope it's not all on that level.Belatti wrote:I repeat, 1st world wealthy people should leave their V6/8s for sunday rides or vacations and go to work in a TATA or similar < 1litre car.
Hm, perhaps there are some differences. I used to view the Mondeo as perhaps a midsize car, certainly not a giant. Range Rovers, big Mercs, people carriers and such go under the "giant" label. Hummers, Rolls Royces and American flagship pickups (and some of their Japanese US market counterparts) go beyond that, they're mainly ridiculous in size. But even size, in this day and age, really shouldn't matter. We have very sophisticated tools in our disposal to do even small amounts of, or even personalised, vehicles pretty economically. Either "big business" is incapable or unwilling to bring the advantages of this into the market ... but I think there's a manufacturing and design revolution coming, one which doesn't rely on huge volumes to make economical, social and environmental sense.Belatti wrote:Last week I visited a Ford plant and outside executive offices you could see at least 12 new giant Ford Mondeos ...

Who reaches for whose money, who are "we". Who are "all of them"? Car manufacturers, Indians, Americans, Extraterrestrials?
I really don't get it. You sound as a major share holder or CEO of rival company that is scared by Nano's possible success.
