I think it would be a much better offering. At least the interior is up to snuff with today's midsize trucks (will probably be a generation behind by time it gets here) and the capabilities are about the same. the 480 lbs will help the city mileage a lot and more aerodynamics is about the only thing that will help the highway mileage.

Maybe they can fine tune the mHawk with some extra time as well. I am thinking it should be about 165 hp and 275 lbs. That should be a much better in a 480 lb lighter vehicle.

maybe it's just acomputerized or software problem for the performance isssues. Not a big deal if their under warranty. Let's create some positive chi here people and get the ball rolling. And also I would like to comment on the body styling I like the original. It personafies a tough image as far as i'm concerned. Tell me what you all think.

Mahindra is running more then a day late and a dollar short IMHO.I don't believe they have the goods to make it here against what is already available here.230 or so ft.lbs. of torque is low by present v-6 standards and their mpg sux for any diesel.They missed their mark by a wide margin and their business antics will count against them too,IMHO.

As much potential as I think the Mahindra truck has, it now has much to overcome. I think more and more people are doing product research on the Internet. Type in Mahindra and it becomes difficult to give them the benefit of doubt. It is not the product as much as the company that is questioned. Are their business practices compatible with American law? If they arrive, I hope so.
