The other reason for the exemplary space utilization is that there are no crush zones. All vehicles sold in North America have body structures designed to help absorb and safely dissipate the energy of a collision. This type of design requires additional space, engineering and material, none of which is possible given the Nano's $2,500 price.

I've actually seen that a few years ago. It was basically a casket mounted onto a go-cart chassis. Looked like tons of fun to drive actually.

I saw pictures of the Tata Nano from a couple of this year's auto shows. Can't remember if it was at the Detroit auto show, New York show, etc. But it was at one of the major shows.
Looks like one of those cars that would only be legal in some asian or european countries. Where extremely small cars dominate the market.
