Do you think

that the West could ever have anything like this?

World's cheapest car is launched

I'm sure we'd have more safety restrictions and regulations to follow, and it would have to perform in extreme cold as well as heat, but there's another reason it would never catch on here. It's too cheap, and people's freedom to choose gas-guzzling, enormously expensive monsters would be threatened. We have a smaller vehicle right now in the Smart Car, but it's closer to $25,000 than $2,000. Naw, free enterprise would kill it. Too bad...
