Their price at 2,500 US makes them within reach of millions upon millions of people. (Read 2-300 MILLION people - I know they won't sell that many, but you get the idea.)

Consumption of gas alone, regardless of fuel efficiency, is terrible for the environment.

These parts of the world do NOT need cheap cars. Period. They can rely on mass transit, bikes, or yaks for all I care, but cheap cars would equate to ecological disaster.

I was waiting for someone else.

Although I did call them "chinks and dots."

That could be a new Milton Bradley board game!

Like Sorry - you get to choose between four unique Sub continent and East Asian cultures driving this car around: Yaks, Cattle, Rice Paddies, Land Mans, etc. You roll your die and the hilarity ensues!
