The 2-3 weeks comment came from India.
. . . but I honestly believe that the current delays are not entirely their fault. Mahindra needs to make a plan and give us a realistic timeline. SOON!
Off my soapbox…

I don't blame GV for any delays, because I don't have that kind of information. I also believe Mahindra is possibly making things more difficult for GV and themselves when they make statements like the 2-3 weeks comment. Possibly there is a problem of cultural differences when it comes to our trying to hold a company accountable for their statements. My focus was on the fact that GV is the representative in this country, and it all comes back to them even if they didn't start it. Keep quiet when you need to, speak up when you need to. I'm not going to go back in history to dredge up things that they said that they shouldn't have, but they are in a position to represent the brand both before and after the launch, and I think even now they are doing less than the job calls for in the area of public relations.
