l really wanna buy one because l am getting my license soon, and this is the only car l think l can afford! l like its look and l like the articles l have read about it. If they dont sell it in America, can l somehow buy it online overseas and drive it here? Would it be illegal to drive one?

Sorry, they have not managed to set up factory to manufacture it yet

Tata Nano was planned to be launched in India by October but due to violent protest in the West Bengal State by the opposition party. Tata relocated their plant to Gujarat.

New plant & with its initial capacity of 250000 vehicles will be commissioned no sooner than 6 months from now.

Therefore Tata is already manufacturing Nano at their two satellite plants in Pune & Pant Nagar.

The initial batch of 40000 Nanos will be launched in the birthday of Tata Group chairman Ratan Tata, that is on 28'th December.

Nano will be launched in Europe between 2009-2010.
By then Electric, Diesel, Gasoline, Hybrid will be available.

Compresses Air(with MDI) & Hydrogen(with ISRO due to their expertise in cryogenic engines) version r also in pipeline but seem very unlikely.

Sadly Tata has not announced their Plans for USA. That is probably due to anti-small-vehicle regulations that benefits Gas-Guzzlers & Exxon Mobil.

BTW Tata Nano has passed street homologation requirements, like frontal-side-offset impact tests.

It is a simple car but a good one at that.

l think that u might b able to go to india and buy it and get it shipped. but it will cost a lot; it is better to just get a used car here, it will be a better price. also, you might want to check wwith the dmv or w/e before getting it.
