I like it... but i like some of the little design cues in the concept design, which are lost in the actual model. Nonetheless, nice. I just cant wait to read some of the haters comments.

Pininfarina is a company that went almost bankrupt. It is true.

Nice, not too extravagant. I like it. Looks almost production ready. I do not see any conceptiness in it.

Insignia side windows, Hyundai headlights, Toyota back lights, so back at the drawing board.

What!?! Do you really think Pininfarina is dumb enough to copy someones elses design. You do know who Pininfarina is right?

Well, the Pininfarina drawing it's nice and original, but the car it's not, it looks like they lost the details of the drawing on the way of making the car real.And what's with those tiny rims, this is a concept, right?I can imagine that the production car will get Nano rims.

Since when have "drawings' ever looked like a completed concept? And this is hardly a concept, expect the production model to look almost exactly like this. The wheels are a perfect diameter for this size of car.

I hope that was a joke... Where do u see a Hyundia or even a toyota. At most i see a Honda front end but than again if look at the Maserati Grand Turismo ull see the def. resemblance. Its pure pininfarina.

This brand is a good example of how to adapt itself to the rest of the world and I feel no strange that it gains its own place among other auto-manufacturers. This Tata PR1Ma concept looks ok to my eyes. It might not be the best, which it doesn't need to, but it is just a proper choice to many customers in this crisis. Good Luck Tata!

Looking "okay" with the cut throat competition that exists at the moment is not enough, especially not in Europe. This segment is already over crowded by the established brands. I doubt it will work outside of India.

I'm quite impressed. Simple clean lines, easy on the eye. Probably in danger of becoming anonymous too soon, but otherwise, deserves success. Let's hope the production car is good to drive.

Tata is going to launch a sedan based on the Indica Vista hatchback in India in the month of June, and we expect the Prima to have what that car doesn't. It should have a more powerful engine (might come from Fiat stable, as it is now), automatic transmission (none of the Tata cars have had auto gearboxes till now), creature comforts like the Climate control, electrically operated, multi-adjustable seats etc. This should be a poor man's Jaguar, if I'm not mistaken.

I met the important people in Tata stand in Geneva, and they said the car will be more up market than Indigo. Someone here commented on the car's looks in pictures and sketches,most of the cars when they are made look a lot different from sketches, if they look similar that is because they had sketched the car over the pictures of the finished concepts or prototypes.

I've once been in one "new" Tata 2 years ago... Indica I think, oh and I've forgot about a 4x4 Tata... scary moment!!! if you want to accelerate you'll push the break pedal too, they are so close one to another, the gear lever impossible, the engine from the sixties... anyway hope never to repeat the experience... I don't even know with what to continue in describing all the negative aspects, the plastics, the way the doors don't fit into the body (you must slam them from the attic to close them) and the rain is in the car not outside... ewwww... I think it will have a huge success in India but elsewhere... so keep it home guys just like the "beautifully" engineered chinese Brilliance

admirable non-chalant , svelte lines...verrry Pininfarina ! exquisite head/tailamp details , too . I particularly liked the manner by which the engine exhaust vents were seamlessly blended into the rear bumper's contours . might I add that perhaps the wheelarch radius needed to be enlarged a bit ? thank you .
