Here is a bit of news for all you guys. I caught wind of this and believe this is certainly going to kill any chances for a defender to be brought into the US. Honestly guys, the only people that want defenders are us...The enthusiast. We are the people that go to events, are friends with the dealership, are constantly on Dweb looking at Defender links wether or not we own one. Sorry, that was a bit of a rant but here is my point: Mahindra. Mahindra is scheduled to release a light, All wheel drive utility truck that has become popular in Africa and Asia. This company is trying to find a demand in the US. Wether or not they are welcomed with open arms or not I dont know. But, this is the same company that built Jeeps under a contract with Willys for Asian markets. They have been doing this for a long time and I see a threat on our beloved icon. Take a gander around
www.Mahindra.com, I found the E-Brochure most helpful when looking for pictures of their new ute. Now, I think these trucks are ugly as shit in a bowtie but, they are definatly a competitor in this market.
