Debuting their first new cars in four years, Tata took the wraps off the Bolt and Zest subcompacts, which are designed specifically to sneak in under four meters in length, to get around vehicle taxation schemes.
While the Bolt hatchback is rather conventional looking, the severely truncated rear of the Zest sedan is evidence of Tata’s desire to strictly adhere to the sub-four meter rule. Tata is hoping that the new cars will lift slumping sales, which have been down nearly 40 percent recently. For more, check out our friends at Motorbeam.

One's named after a bar of soap, and the other's name is 'inspired' by a compact Chevy. (Next model year from Tata: the 2015 Corbet sports car, Cabalier sedan, Noba mid-sized coupe and the all-new (cough) replacement for Nano, the Tata Chebette.
Is it just me or do the rear lights on the Zest look like the Mercedes A-Class's?
