So many euphemisms; so little time...

1) Be like running over a beer can.

2) Five people, conviently packaged for group distruction.

3) A four-wheeled coffin.

4) Driving this thing in LA could invalidate your life insurance.

5) Should come with a warning from the Surgeon General.

Any others out there?

I think that this vehicle would fair pretty well in a crash when matched up against what else will be on the road with it. Most developing countries don't have a lot of hummers and suburbans out on their roads. I'd think motorcycles and mopeds would just bounce right off this thing.

I want to see a picture of this next to a monster truck.

with a top speed of 43mph it really isn't even a commuter car here. It's a Vespa that seats 5??

However, I do applaud the efforts to create a "Volkswagon" or people's car for India (and other developing 3rd world countries).

My concern is that the tires are so small it looks like it needs decent roads to travel on. If a fair amount of people don't have cars where thier target market is, then why would there be any decent infrastructure to run these things on?

Well, it is really for developing nations, so the only real shortcoming I see of it is the small wheels. I personally believe someone could make a mint selling new Model T's to developing nations. They were built for non-existant roads.
