Tatas are planning to gift Nano to celebrities - few names include President Pratibha Patil, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Congress President Sonia Gandhi and Opposition Leader LK Advani, Sania Mirza, Sachin Tendulkar and Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

How about gifting to common man (say few of your workers/Taj hotel staff?), Mr. Tata? After all, Nano is meant to be a common man’s car.

What’s your opinion? Will you go for Nano?
