I don't think it will be a huge hit here, plus how are they gonna fix the fact that these things were designed for Indian safety regulations and pretty much explode if you slam the door too hard

What are those, 12" wheels?

Looks like you could push it and tip it over. Center of Gravity fail.

The perfect itty bitty little titty for a member of the itty bitty titty committee.

I'm not sure how they are going to get it to pass US safety regulations without a total redesign. I also wonder how much work they are going to have to do to get the engine to pass emissions. My guess is it will take a lot longer and will cost a lot more to bring it to the US than they are estimating.

I guess I'm not the only one who wants to see a pink pair of these with red roofs parked next to each other?
