...basically was the dream to say: "Never again, war on this continent." And as a matter of fact, it has succeeded in bringing in countries, making them more democratic. Greece, Spain, Portugal initially, then the Central and Eastern European countries. It still is a living peace project, creating hope in the region we're living in, the Western Balkans, torn through wars, countries breaking apart.

With the staid middle-aged consumers of India's middle class giving way to urbanites and youngsters with a lot of disposable cash, not much hope was left for these two modest modes of transport. A Maruti-Suzuki spokesperson says the company made a conscious decision to phase out the car as the definition of "people" - in order words, India' vast middle classes - has transformed in the last two decades. In January 2010 sales of the M800 were down 55% over the same period the previous year as Indians opt for cars with features...
