I think there is a market for stuff like that, don't think I would buy theirs just yet though.

[HotCarl]

Odd looks but I would rock one. It would be great to haul all my hockey crap in the back of and I wouldn't mind driving a truck that get's better mileage than my Jetta. The comments below say it all, as long as they can keep the price low in the 20's for a reasonalby equiped truck that gets 30-35+ mpg then I'd definitly look into it.

Compact truck + tubodiesel = WIN

 

Dont know if I dig the looks however.

mid 90s jeep grille??

[Dr. Apex]

Compact truck + tubodiesel = WIN

 

 

Agreed, that thing could still tow a decent load and get 30mpg!!

[87GT]

Yes

[spoolin_s14]

make a good work truck probley

[zeitgeist57]

I'm just sad that GM hasn't used an Isuzu 4cyl turbodiesel in a small truck yet.

[Nitrousbird]

No. If they can prove themselves not to be another Daewoo, I might look at their product, but even then probably wouldn't purchase.

 

Still here in 5-10 years, then I may take an honest look.

[Cordell]

Anyone got a picture of this thing? I have never seen one.

[zeitgeist57]

UPDATE: I think I'm in love with this truck, and I haven't even seen it in person yet. And a base price under $15k??? That's a smoking good deal if it's reliable. Too bad I haven't heard anything about a stick shift transmission option...

I'd rock it for a weekend hauler/landscaping truck. Looks almost like a mini deuce:

that indian truck is butt ugly. my old 96 Taco was almost within reach of 30 mpg out of a 2.4 liter gas engine, and had proven reliability. The only reason to buy the Mahindra is if you want a true compact truck, since the only one left is the Ranger.

I feel bad too, because that would have been the first real triple in a while. You could shown all this wannabes how a triple is done.

Also looks like from everything I have read that it will be assembled in Ohio.

[HAOLE]

I think the crew cab is ok looking.

[RMTC]

Except your taco won't haul anything close to what this will, and the taco was gay.

Their tractors have a good reputation.
