I think Nano, the small car from Tata, should be successful. Bajaj Auto, one of the largest two-wheeler company, is coming up with their own version of ultra cheap car. There is huge market for first time car buyers, particularly in small cities. A car at this price should be successful.

Spelling has been fixed, thanks. I seem to be cursed with this name... last time I wrote about it, I initially put the apostrophe in the wrong place ("jevon's"), and this time I thought I was being so clever getting that fixed. Oh well... and Jewish Farmer below is right--I'm confusing the spelling with John Jeavons of "Grow Biointensive" fame. Consider this a public service announcement:)
