From Bollywood to Hollywood: Jay Leno Drives Tata Nano

The story of the Tata Nano starts not in Hollywood, nor in Bollywood, but on the streets of India. That’s where an increasing number of people are finding motoring more affordable thanks to glorified rickshaws like this car.
Inside Tata Motors’ assembly plant, Jay Leno’s own Nano gets built, and a company official describes how this is the best alternative for four-people families who want to stop traveling on a motorbike. Yes, four people on a motorbike - don’t act like you didn’t know they did that in India.

What’s even stranger is that this 2-cylinder car that supposedly costs only $2,700 in America can’t be sold there because it’s totally unsafe. What most likely happened is that Jay just agreed to help Tata promote their cheep car with the power of the internet. This explains why Leno wears a suite that’s twice the price of the car... for the lols.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
