That's hilarious, especially the 'bottom line' which is true as hell.
Check the second half of this one:

True. And why a Government Motors Volt costs $41,000 and a Tata Nano
with better fuel mileage costs only $3,500 an is user serviceable.


A GM Volt does NOT cost $41,000, it costs $31,000. Why would I want a
Tatanano, which I have to get in with a shoe horn, has proven itself
dangerous in crashes, has a top speed of 65 MPH, and is about as
uncomfortable and Spartan as is imaginable.


It cost $41,000, government (your money or grand kids debt) subsidizes
the rest.

Nano can go faster than a Volt. Go further too. Funny, Volt isn't Euro
crash rated but the Nano is. Comes with working heat and AC too.

No fancy electronics or Government motors complexity prevents you from
servicing the Nano yourself.

China makes similar cars for the 4 digit range too. Hey, government
larders cost money!
