What Else Will $2,500 Buy?

India's Tata Motors grabbed headlines when last month it unveiled the Tata   Nano with its $2,500 price tag. Tata Motors' founder, Ratan Tata, sees the cheap Nano as way to get drivers in India off their motor scooters and into cars.

That got AutoObserver wondering: What would $2,500 buy in the U.S. aside from the car?

Jane Nakagawa, AutoObserver's design editor, set to work researching the Top 10 things she'd rather buy for $2,500 than a Tata Nano.

Here's what we came up with:
