Here's an sneak peek at the new commercial for India's most fuel-efficient cars.

Some people had advised Tata to sell the business, and the Ford officials came to Bombay House to hold talks.

The Indica, known to Europeans as City Rover, was rolled out in November 2003 but did not succeed in the market where consumers are very choosy about the vehicles they buy.
