what jeep should have done

[ridenlow12]

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

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.

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

Not a big fan of the curvy parts,

Now it needs wheel flares...

I'll reserve me judgment until someone lifts one 6" and drops 35"s on it and then see how it grow on me...

are they making a 4x4 version? Doesnt appear to have a solid front axle....

Definately practical, but very very ugly!

 

Those hook rails make it look like an 1978 Datsun.

I agree, BTW my 1972 Datsun 521 had those hooks too.
