US Tata Nano may cost $8,000

Emissions and safety standards are not cheap in US, and because of this, Tata Nano may cost almost 8000$ in US !
Associated Press reports that the car is likely to cost USD 8,000 when the Americans manage to get their hands on it.

Tata Motors already has made a European version of the four-seat car that will cost about $8,000 when it debuts in 2011, and a Tata Technologies official said privately that the U.S. version is expected to have a comparable price.

Currently the car with the lowest base sticker price running on American roads, the Hyundai Accent, sells at $9,970 (Rs 4,55,438). This means even with a more than 300 per cent rise in its original price of $2,500, the Nano will still be more competitive, price wise, than any other car in the US.
