Born in Pakistan, and proud of it! When Nano was still on drawing boards, Habib Motors of Pakistan beat India by launching Sitara - the marvel of Pakistani technology.
Read this article on Sitara (courtesy TOI).
Sitara includes parts almost entirely designed and manufactured locally. The 175 cc Chinese engine is manufactured in Lahore. The car does not exceed 400 kilograms in weight, and has a load-bearing capacity of 250 kilograms. The capacity of the fuel tank is 10 liters and consumption is 18 kilometers per liter. The maximum speed allowed is 60 km/hour.
Keeping the safety of people in mind, especially at high speed, locally made seat belts have also been provided by the manufacturer. Understandably, Sitara costs a little more than Nano - 1.26 lakh.
Habib Motors have sold not less than 60 Sitara car(t)s since its launch in 2004. That many Pakistani families now fly at 60 kmph with their seat belts safely (and proudly) tied on. Mashallah!

Is this article on Sitara supposed to be sarcastic? Because if it is, it suceeds in a subtle manner... Ha!
Sitara is just a golf cart.
well I was not being sarcastic on Sitara. But yes, the pride that was attached to it was surely ridiculous., and tragically so.
amazing car i must say!!!!!!! 60 cars have been sold since 2004!!!!!!!!!n costlier than NANO!!!!!!!n watever is written about SAFETY is astonishing!!!!hats off to the Technology!!!!!!
Well they must have ripped off a 175CC engine from a bike and attached it a car(t). 60KMPH is definitely "Hairy" for people who travel on camels!
