After watching "IRT Deadliest Roads", it pretty much sealed the deal that I would never even test drive a Mahindra, from the country that uses under powered wooden trucks built by Tata, and have an ancient infrastructure that is falling apart, the most dangerous roads and drivers. What would they know about building safe reliable vehicles? And you wonder why the big delay? I am sure they are pretty unsafe is one of the reasons they have been vapor ware for so long.

Tune in, watch it, then tell me how bad you want a Mahindra :frankie:

I'm just glad that Alex came to his senses before he got out of the city. I'm amazed that Lisa and Rick both kept going under those conditions, the other drivers are INSANE there.

I'm with you on the thoughts about Mahindra trucks tho. Not that I would ever buy a first-generation vehicle like that, but I'm a lot less inclined to ever do more than test drive one now.

I'll go back to VW with a used 2004 Touareg V10 TDI with 200k on it first before I ever get one of those things new.

Yeah, I will stick with vehicles from less primitive countries, like the NA, Europe, the UK, and Asia. Alex was a whole different person when you take him out of his comfort zone of the wide open ice roads. Rick is a little crazy any ways, and Lisa, who knows how long she will last? I hope the Mahindra's are not built like their bridges and roads.
