Tata to Up Production on Nano

Tata has a gem on their hands. They've developed the cheapest car on earth, which makes owning a new car affordable to the largest segment of people in India (and on earth), the middle class. The Nano costs a little over $2,000, it's tiny, weighs next to nothing and at 50+ MPG, it gets excellent fuel economy.
Many felt that the Nano would be so poorly made, and have so many corners cut, that it would feel and drive like a power wheels. But journalists who got their hands on a pre-production model are saying that it actually drives like a car should. The steering is tight, handling is decent and it safely gets you from point-A to point-B.
And this is the reason for the Nano's success. Orders are flowing into their HQ at a rate of 2,500 per month. Tata says they expect even more orders over the holidays and thus they are increasing production by 20% to meet demand. With them selling so many cars, I hope they don't have a recall over something silly like floor mats.
