Honda is Working on a $3,000 Car
It seems like every carmaker is trying to get a piece of the rapidly growing car market in India. Renault-Nissan, Toyota and other automakers have all announced plans to release "cheap" cars for that market. Well now Honda has announced that the automaker is also planning on releasing an ultra-cheap car by 2009.

Honda's chairman Satoshi Aoki has revealed that Honda is planning on launching a premium small car and an ultra-cheap minicar that will cost under $3,000 by 2009. Originally the Honda Fit and City models were being considered, but they both cost three-times as much as Honda's goal.

Aoki admits that it is going to be difficult to build a car for $3,000 that will retain typical "Honda Characteristics".

Rather, think of the oppertunity... India will get new Highways, development, resources. Its urban makeup will focus on less gas consumption and push manufacturers to innovate with less expensive solutions.
Automobiles,consumption and the environment is not a a zero sum game as the Gore Scare a Logic would like you to believe.
Humanity resolves problems when it percieves them . Same with the environment.
