At 10 feet long, the Nano is about 2 feet shorter than a Mini Cooper. Its 623-cubic-centimeter two-cylinder engine is estimated to produce about 35 horsepower, good for a top speed of 75 mph.

$2,500.00 is the price tag for the standard model

I love how it is a 4door

also did you notice it has a CVT transmission?!? (the cooper CVT transmission is worth 3 of these cars)

Also that car company is purchasing Jag from ford and already owns DaeWoo
