You keep saying buyers don't want them but you don't know because they are 100% outlawed here, it's a choice taken away by the pro-choice crowd. I am telling you I for one, and I hardly believe I am alone would buy one. With modern global economies and the massive shipping from overseas you don't have to have 100,000 of them to make financial sense. One cargo container at a time works just as well. Point is, it is not allowed.
The nano is more of a $2000 car.
This also go me thinking of how safety has added $1000 to every car according to that study from 2001, I wonder if they did the same study how much they would figure the entire powertrain adds to the cost of the car. What do you want to bet that number suddenly makes the $1000 number seem like a much bigger part of the total.
