TATA NANO....$2.500


While you are walking around the North American Auto Show in Detroit and looking at those beauties that fetch tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars keep in mind it can be done cheaper. The next owner of Jaguar and Land Rover (which he is buying from Ford Motor) will be putting out a car that costs $2,500. Based in India, the European companies laughed when the owner said a few years ago that he had a plan.

Now, a few years down the road and they aren't laughing anymore. In fact, they are trying to build their own low-end automobiles. So far theirs will still be at least double the Indian Tata Nano. A lot of people only need point A to point B transportation. He is revolutionizing the assembly process and the way auto parts are made at the supplier end. A trend to watch.
