Yes, I hope that is not what they are bringing it here. That is ugly, worst than the ones I seen photos of...
But yes, we should wait, until September at the least....

I hope in the first update in the next couple of years that the cab/greenhouse is sloped more to be aerodynamic and that alone would help the "angles" of the vehicle a ton. It would in no doubt improve highway mileage too.

The reason for the high cab profile is so you can get in without knocking your turban off!

I probably am a marketing anomaly. Not many guys would drive a rasberry colored truck (GMs color description, but more people call it pink) because they promised their daughter she could pick out the color of the new truck. I think there is a reason why I have only seen two other vehicles ever in that color.

My friend whose father owned a car dealership would frequently show me cars, and ask my opionion. He came to the conclusion also that I am simply way too practical compared to the averager consumer, and I am worse when it comes to my truck.

You are not the only one that had a pink car. Back in the '50s my dad wanted to paint the family chevy. After several choices were shot down by my mom, my dad in exasperation said "what color do you want?" Mom said "flamingo" So for the next 5 years we drove around in a flamingo pink Chevy.

Wow... I'm truly impressed. Your dad was a tougher man than I'll ever be.

From the article "A year after the debut of its truck, Mahindra plans to introduce an SUV priced in the $13,000 to $15,000 range. "

Doesn't say the truck will be $13,000.

Every quote I've ever read from GV or Mahindra has said the trucks will start low 20's.

I bet they're equally inaccurate with the $13k to $15k SUV quote.

That's the only one I could find without alot of digging.If I find it I will post it. I have no reason to lie to you . What I read in several articles in 2008 was a starting price (reg. cab) of 13,000,00 4x2, 15,000.00 4x4, and the 4x4 4 door loaded at 24,000.00. Some people are talking about how ugly it is I thing it looks good. It does need manual hubs. One of the early articles said it was going to be a cookie cutter truck,no ordering options from the factory..
