Great new information on the India and North American models

Another full day with the Auto Show. Talked more with Mr. Negre and Mr. Vencat. Chatted it up with a lot of people at the show and there is a lot of interest in the compressed air vehicle, once people understand what it can do and how it works.

It was pretty funny watching people look at the car and laugh, then get very interested when they learn that it goes 800 miles on a 8 gallon tank of fuel.

btw, I learned that everything I thought I knew, was correct for the previous model, not the vehicle that was at the auto show.

That green vehicle is the model that Tata motors paid $30 million to produce in India, selling it in 2009 for $6000 USD. The 2010 North American model will be a 6-seater sedan with full safety and modern features that will get 106 miles/gallon and travel 90 mph on the highways. That will cost between $18,000-$20,000 USD.

I'd still take the green car now, spent more than $20k on my "real" car.
