You know, Mahindra makes some decent tractors.
If I needed a work truck (and I mean WORK... I would not cruise Sonic in that thing), it might not be a bad thing.

I wouldn't mind driving it. The diesel is nice if they can get it to pass emissions tests. I'm also curious about how it does with crash tests. I believe they delayed its original release date due to a problem passing one or both tests. The fact that their current release date is supposed to be right about now yet I don't believe they have stated anything about either probably isn't a good sign.

Wish it had a manual tranny option.

I like it. put a manual trans in it, maybe 4x4 as an option, it'd be #1 on my list of trucks to want with that crew cab option for family use and general get shit done ness.

I hope it comes with a complimentary Ganesha sticker, and some pinstriping on the back that says "Sound Horn."

Well, while Americans have always gone for the "longer, lower, wider" look, I suppose the "taller, tippier, goofier" look might have it's followers.

Personally, I think the Chinese will need to widen the "aspect ratio" of the product a tad, visually at least, to keep most Americans from throwing up in their mouths a little, over the styling.
