Tata Nano on fire in Mumbai

Barely a month after a brand new Nano incinerated itself in Mumbai, another Nano succumbed to fire, this time in Anand, Gujarat.

Startlingly, even this Tata Nano was brand new and was being driven to be delivered to a dealer. This certainly is something Tata will have trouble disassociating itself with as Nanos are under fire literally, left, right and center. Arson anyone?

While Tata Motors announced an official inquiry last time around, we’re still in the dark about what exactly went wrong as Tata never bothered to get back and tell the world what happened. We, at IndianCarsBikes sincerely hope that Tata gets its act together and comes out in the open and clears air about why the Nanos are so prone to being burnt.

Tata Motors’ silence on this issue is only exacerbating matters by ensuring that the Tata Nano’s name is being maligned by all and sundry. A shame really, for the Tata Nano is one revolutionary car that definitely deserves a better deal, not to mention the fact that the world associating the Tata Nano as being quintessential Indian.

It's possible that the Nano is designed to practice a form of vehicular self-immolation as a protest technique sometimes found in that part of the world.

So that makes a Nano an excellent car, gives it something in common with a Ferrari 458 Ialia. Perhaps they used the same glue to stick them together.
