So funny really, when you don't have one! I rather hope the Nano, if it doesn't work, at least can become the thing "we'll laught about later". Ah, the Yugo. So funny really, when you don’t have one!

They need to be very careful that they avoid the "Yugo-meets-Pinto" perception. And who knows, Tata might still get this right. But now they have to battle a perception of dubious quality. And yes, Tata did offer the owner a replacement/refund. My sense is that the soon-to-be former owner selected the refund since I read that he was so scared he would never drive another Nano, ...and maybe not even another car. That’s exactly right Karl.

The original article mentioned Tata offered the owner "a replacement Nano or a refund." I imagine Tata hopes to avoid a “Yugo-meets-Pinto” analogy.
