My Reaction:
“It goes without saying, a good car at a low price will sell well in global markets,” said a head of Asia forecasting; however, about a few years ago, this idea was considered a joke especially in prosperous countries, such as America. They then put emphasis on the comfort as well as safety, and no one could have prophesied our dire situation now. The whole environment has changed. Not only economy but also nature calls on a more environmentally friendly compact which consumes less gasoline.
As far as I am concerned, the invention of Tata Nano, such a cheap small car is a gospel to meet my necessity. For one thing, it costs much cheaper allowing common people to purchase in order to improve the inconvenience ridden only by scooters or bicycles. For another, this kind of car is said to decrease the use of gas, which matters significantly now due to the fluctuation of oil market.
Nevertheless, there is still one potential problem tormenting me. What will our environment become worse or better, if a swarm of people own these attractive cars? It is likely that because of demand overweighing supply, the selling price and gas price tower instead. Moreover, the accumulation of waste air emitted by many riders may cause a more devastating damage to natural environment.
Besides, its safety is also a big concern. One commentator joked that if people hit a deer with the Nano, they have to ride the deer to work. Obviously, he exaggerates its danger. In fact, the compact is designed to use only for city driving , and up to date, no car accident happened simply out of the car itself having problem. （281 words）
