The truth is that the average person is quite simple minded, and cannot imagine anything further than what is in front of them.
In the 60's, Americans would laugh if you mentioned Japanese cars. So who cares what they say now? The truth is that most people do not understand history and thus have a very difficult time imagining the future.
Anybody that has understood the development and industrialization of nations would not laugh at the ambitions of developing countries.
When people mention Indian cars, I find nothing funny about that. Looking at the circumstances, India might be undeveloped today, but it has the resources and drive to become an industrial power, and most likely an automotive power in the future. So there is no need for arrogance and false pretentions.
