Default MAHINDRA!

Looks like it'd be a cool lil truck! It'll at least bring some new ideas into this country!


PickupTruck.com - Mahindra Promises Diesel Hybrid Pickup by 2010

I hope it works out....

I like the idea of a little diesel truck. Whose engine will they have? Isuzu had a non-turbo diesel in the early 80s.

Does Mahindra make those little utility trucks that 2 people sit shoulder to shoulder that you see occasionally?

Will the Indians being outsourcing phone support to the US?

I like them. I think they'll do OK if the quality is there.

Mahindra's recently introduced 'mHawk' 2.2-liter inline four cylinder diesel engine, that debuted in India in the Scorpio SUV.

MUST BE 4x4

Hhmmm. Looks like Bosch Injection techology will be inside. That means the aftermarket bombing is in place right now most likely.

Ugly matches my driveway! Ive seen better photos and I kinda like it. Ford makes a Fiesta diesel for foreign markets that get 40+ mpg. Ask them why we cant have one? Germany has all sorts of diesel Mercedes, Audi's, and Pugot. MAN diesel and Scania have some awsome small diesel engines. But we cant get them here, why?
I guess when you get breakfast delivered to your villa, and fly around on a corporate jet. and a 3 piece suit is dressing down, you probably dont have a clue what the American public wants. Are you listening Big 3? Washington?
