ridenlow12 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Mahindra is going to release a new truck in the US next summer. This freakin Indian based company use to produce some of the willys jeeps back in the fouries. At quick glance I see some updated manche lines and they even have a seven slot grill :headpop: What do you think BTW its coming only with a deisel engine price starting around 20K Image Not Found Image Not Found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Somewhere (this site?) I saw some shots of s preliminary prototype a while ago. I thought it looked ugly then. Either they changed it, or it grew on me. Supposed to get excellent mileage for a truck. But for what diesel costs nowadays I'd be making my own from french fry oil.

maddzz1 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 The grill looks like the same style as the beijing. They say they will also have a diesel/hybrid version by 2010. That would help offset the cost of the diesel. it is supposed to get 30-35mpg. THe hybrid says 40+mpg http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/11/mahi ... year-dies/ Also a link to the new jeep jt: http://image.motortrend.com/f/auto-revi ... e-view.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperWade2 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I'll reserve me judgment until someone lifts one 6" and drops 35"s on it and then see how it grow on me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
