I see not things like this:

When I look at the Nano, I still see some things that could be cheaper. For
instance, if the headlights were round, there would be no need to make left
and right different. The same goes for rearview mirrors. Suicide doors for
the backseats could make the structure lighter. A CVT instead of a regular
transmission would probably be lighter, save space and be cheaper also. And
so on.

I like some of the automotive x-prize entrants:
