Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTata Motors and Stellantis have signed a deal to develop new vehicles made in India. Skip is outside a dealership with the details.

Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentI'm standing outside a dealership, and behind me you can see exactly zero of the new vehicles, because the deal was only signed this morning.

Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentReuters reports Stellantis and Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles will develop the cars together in India. Let's see what a commuter thinks.

Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentSir, what do you want from a new car?
Mahesh RondellHonestly, a cupholder that fits my chai. Every car I've owned treats a cup like a rumor.
