Dealers of Tata Motors are wondering how many polite ways there are to say no to customers demanding to test-drive the Nano.

Bangaloreans thronged the only two outlets exhibiting the small car, Concorde Motors and Prerana Motors, yesterday, hoping for a test-drive before booking was to begin today.

Bookings on

With bookings open only till April 25, there's a huge rush at the showrooms for forms or for a mere look. Around a thousand visitors step into Prerana Motors alone, everyday.u00a0

But dealers say they've made adequate arrangements for a smooth booking process. Expecting over a lakh bookings from Bangalore alone, they have organised special teams.u00a0

Prerana Motors' 10-member team has been on the job since April 3 and will look after the process for the next 10 days.

"We hope we will not disappoint the people who come to book cars," added Kamath.

That, of course, will depend on whether or not they want a test-drive.
