Then there was the Tata Pixel. The Pixel was far more fashion-forward than the Nano -- but of course, we only got to see it as a super-stylish concept at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. Targeted to Asian and European consumers, the Pixel was a two-door four-seater, and its silhouette wasn't all that different from some cars currently roaming the roads.

The Pixel featured a turbocharged 1.2-liter three-cylinder diesel engine, a similarly intriguing Infinitely Variable Transmission, and scissor doors that almost certainly would've been scrapped for the production version. It promised 69 miles per gallon.

We've never been entirely wild about the Nano -- and frankly, neither have consumers in India, who've far and away preferred inexpensive motorcycles to the $2,500 Nano. That said, something like the Pixel would at least be interesting to look at, and might be enough to turn the heads of budget-minded Millennials. Have a look at the video clip of the Pixel below, and let us know your thoughts about Tata's American and European prospects in the comments below

    Richard, seems there is some misunderstanding regarding mileage of Tata Nano. In India Nano 2012 is rated 25 Kilometer/Liter which is approx 58.8 US Mpg (Not 48). Also Nano has some fire incidents (Approx 5 incidents in 2008-9) due to some faulty spare part provided by a supplier and that issue was resolved long back. After 2009 not a single fire incident is reported. It is not good that people still beat Nano for incidents happened in 2008-9. As for US and Europe launch is considered I think Tata will Launch a vehicle specially designed for Europe/US With Better Comfort/Performance/Luxary and Safety.
