It really looks like a decent little car. No frills, good fuel economy.

Hopefully, it burns fairly clean.

To put a lot more cars on the road in a place like India or China really can't be a good thing for air pollution.

We in the US are the worst though for having such a love affair with our cars. One could argue that our almost our entire economy and culture is based on the automobile.

You can't blame others for wanting to be able to get around by themselves in their own little piece of private property.

In the long-run, we really do need to get away from cars, starting with petrol-burning ones. Electric cars, bikes, e-bike, and bike-cars all have some great potential for the future.
