It is a shame that an Indian is calling TATA’S a cheat.
Tatas have give a yeomans service to our nation in power and aother fields.
Maruthi are charging exoberantly for a 800 model which is actually valued at 1.4 lcs. It was launched as a poor mans car and maruthi made use of government subsidy FOR ITS SPARES.
Vara u can refrain from buying an auto from tatas and pay twice for a maruthi crap.
