<<At present, most Indians get around by train, bus, motor scooter and three-wheeled auto rickshaw. Indians buy about 1.3 million passenger cars a year, less than Canadians, even though India's population is 36 times as big. But with India's economy growing at 8 or 9 per cent a year, the market is set to boom. One study estimated it will double within a decade. With a population of 1.1 billion, and a middle class expected to grow tenfold over the next two decades, India is a potential motherlode for car makers. >> Man, I love to read stuff like that. It guarantees continued growth in the global demand for oil, and thus bodes well for my tar sands stocks.

China makes a mini sedan called "QQ" the size of a Fiat. "QQ" costs less than 30000 RMB ( USD $ 2200). It is slick and runs well. For slightly 2x that amount of money you can get a roomy SUV completed with air conditioning. India's future prosperity ? It has been a democracy for as long as anyone can remember and its economy still get stuck at first gear. It will forever remain a country of the future. Someday, just someday it will all be better. There are better places to risk investment capital, IMHO.
