As a Tata Motors shareholder and avid motor enthusiast, it is very disappointing when I hear about Sumo Grande's issues on even basic stuff. What counts is quality. even the newly lunched Sumo is lagging the very basic of car making (this is based on the feedback from the only one owner in tbhp). I almost bought it, but the history of new model from Tata made me hesitate. so, hope atleast on this model they do something REALLY.
I agree with you on Tata cars. Tata should make thier cars reliable, instead of making people turn heads by just launching new products which are not trustworthy. A company like Tata can easily make cars with superior technology - they have experience in automobile like any other multi national car manufacturers.
But I do not agree with Mahindra. Scorpio still needs lot of improvements. Bolero can not be classified as a great car just from its recent sales surge. They lack quality in every part.

If a Hyndai from Korea, a Toyota from Japan, A GM from USA, why not a Tata from India or M&M from India when they plan to spread their wings acrosss the globe. Quality is all they need as their catch word now!
