I really feel TML should come out of dark ages. Long time back there was a time in India when if you want to buy a car you had very limited options like Ambassador, Padmini etc, IMO someone in TATA's R&D is still from that era. With the resources and the networks available for TML they should be able not only fulfill/satisfy domestic needs but also be able to compete in international level.
But someone in TATA knows, The name sells in India, so take a 70's chassis, a 80's engine, an early 90's design nd put 300years + (not sure how old) brand name and val la a new Sumo is born.
Thats how TATA builds and sells their cars.
TML can do much much better and they should.

This is my openion. We Indians will be glad to put our hard earned money for something with a label "Made in India" if it meets our needs and stand at par with what the open market has to offer
