Geely IG Fantastic Concept – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n

\nTata Motors<\/a> has milked the Nano<\/a> minicar’s “most affordable” status for a ton of press, but it might soon hand the title belt over to a new challenger. According to a report at TopNews.in, Geely’s<\/a> reportedly got its own ultra-frugal compact in the works for 2010. Called the IG, it’s expected to bring a $2,250 price tag and a 1.0-liter, 70 horsepower motor to the party. <\/p>\n

We have no idea what to expect from a new car that’s priced like a lawn tractor<\/a>, but word is that Geely aims to surpass the Nano from a quality standpoint. We already have a good idea of what the IG might look like if\/when the Chinese microcar hits crowded city streets in a couple years, since Geely showed off the IG Fantastic concept car at last year’s Shanghai Motor Show. <\/p>\n

While we’re certain the concept’s gullwing doors will never see life outside an exhibition hall, we’re thinking that a cute little runabout could fare quite nicely with a $2,250 price tag. We’ll likely never see the IG here in the States, but the folks in China and India will probably love it.<\/p>\n
