India's Tata Nano!!!

"But while the bright lights of the New Delhi Auto Expo were trained on Tata's minicar, activists near Kolkata were burning the car in effigy. The Trinamool Congress, a West Bengal opposition group, torched a mockup of the Nano in protest over land rights at the factory location. "Until farmers get back their land forcibly acquired for the Tata Motors small car plant at Singur, we will not allow the company to manufacture cars there," opposition leader Partha Chatterjee decreed, according to The Economic Times of India.

In New Delhi, a small group of protesters made a less dramatic showing, but their T-shirt slogans were bold, The Times of India reported: "The ($2,500) car has Singur people's blood on it."" [CNet NewsBlog, January 11, 2008]

"We are not against industrialization," said Rakhi, a member of the group, "but why should the poor always sacrifice their lives and livelihood for the dreams of the middle class? The Singur farmers say their lands yielded multiple crops and no compensation can match the loss." [The Times of India, January 11, 2008]
