Rich can buy more than one car, but Nano should be stopped ?!

This post should have been typed 2 months ago... but rather could not find the time to blog.

I read in papers and viewed news in TV about protests to stop Tata's Nano project. Few of the people argued that the already crowded roads in Bangalore/Chennai and other metros will become more crowded and worse. I agree on that. But ... wait on ...

The same day I read in a newspaper, the automobile section of it, a rich (why you will know 1) person has asked which of the cars he should buy. His question more or less was...

"I need to buy 3 cars, one for my daughter and other two for me. Would prefer to buy two cars with a budget of 15-18 lacs. I would use one for commuting to office and the other on vacations and weekends, where I would be travelling a long distance. Advice me for the options to choose".

The answer was to buy Maruti 800 for his daughter. Buy a Hyundai i10 Petrol for him for office and a Chevy Optra Diesel for long drives.

(1 I assume only rich people can go for such a budget and 3 cars and relatively the fuel for 3 cars too) When rich can go for such a comfort and enjoy plesure why should you rather stop the project which is going to help poor people own cars and go atleast have a way to travel with family if not luxury. Definitely, drive on Nano will be equal to driving a Piaggio Ape.

When a family can buy 3 cars and crowd the roads why should you and me not buy a Nano?
