Design: RK
Every human, and every car (remember Beetle?), resembles one or the other animal (ok, that includes reptiles, mammals, birds…). No, I’m not talking about Harbhajan-Symonds episode here.
The very first time I saw Tata Nano in the newspapers, I felt it looked so much like a dinosaur, a lizard, a chameleon. That was when I made this graphic to settle the issue (in my mind).
Update (courtesy Veena Prashanth): What do you think Tata Nano resembles?

wow! what an imagination and the way to settle the issue. Thanks, I will try some similar thing next time( I can’t cartoon may be I will write some lines) to releif my mind with many such things which keep wandering in my mind!…
When I first saw the Nano, it looked like a frog
May be you can add a line in your post asking what others felt when they first saw the Nano…
and we can enjoy the comments alva RK…?

Hello,
Like your imaging, good work. Best part is the scientific name.

For any car Design is v.important. For that matter Nano is Cute and marvellous.
When I first saw on web on the date of release, It remembered me an age old car Popularly Known as “Kappe(Frog) Car” Around 15-20 years ago frog like cars were seen in bangalore. We were calling it as kappe car.
Once Nano hits bangalore Roads, we can sing “car, car Elnodi car….” Literally!!!!

Nano is a cheap and a good car. Unfortunately, it will lead to even more congestion in our cities. There is no way we can accommodate more cars on existing roads.
I wish there were alternatives…

Rk,
Nice comparison: lizard and car! Where do you get such ideas mate?
Mr. Gauhar JK,
To quote a few paragraphs from the cover story in India Today (Jan 21 2008 issue) [the portion in bold is wrt your comment above]:

WTH man! appreciate Tata’s efforts. India is not progressing ‘coz of you people.
Btw, great design, RK!! Loved it.

It reminded me of the toy cars that my son collected as a kid…

frogs are amphibians and lizards reptiles. since reptiles have evolved from amphibians, no wonder many readers compare ‘nano’ with frog!
no comparisons please.
‘naanu’ ‘naane’
‘nano’ ‘nanone’
naanu nano jodi
ee jeevana Tata gaadi ………
‘naanu’, ‘neenu’, ‘nano’ – all ego builders…………….

I feel the Nano is extremely cute. Though I doubt if I will fit into it considering my slightly extra large built!
I feel the Nano resembles a cat drinking milk with its eyes closed! (Okay I know that was abstract enough!)
