My reaction:

When reading this article, I think that the century of expensive car is changing, and replaced by small cars.

There are two reasons due to the rise of that Indian car. As we know, the economy of the world is withering and hasn't reached to the end. Everyone starts to spend less money in case any unexpected. As for the vehicles users, it would be a burden if they drive the former car that consumes lots of energy, especially in USA. Those cars are large and heavy and consume much more fuel than small ones; the most important one is the high price. That makes the consumers reluctant to purchase car and then the economy is getting worse. Therefore, Nano, the ultra cheap cars produced in India have become popular because of the light weight and cheap price. That would help the buyers ease the financial burden. In addition, global warming is getting serious than before. Consequently, people start to concern about the environment. For example, they use bio fuel instead of fossil fuel and purchase more small cars.

The next one is the drawback. Since it is small cars, normally the gasoline container is small as well. Therefore, it isn't appropriate for long distance drive. If you want to go somewhere remote, you have to take public transport. That would be inconviniet. (203words)
