Personally i would also like the Storme to win!!

I'd really like to know what gruelling testing were the two put up to by the army

Though, out of the two, i'd also want the Safari to win.

The Gypsy, Maruti should have done something with it. At difficult times, none of the two can be as blissful as the mighty Gypsy, not even close.

As a Safari owner, it feels good to hear about Storme being selected. i guess our Defence forces deserve these machines! they are powerful and comfortable.

Still many of the high ranking officers use Amby(Black) it would be really nice the Amby gets replaced with Storme(Black).

Goodluck TATA!

Which ever vehicle wins, at the end, it will be a win for our indigenous manufacturers.

May the best 4X4 win this.

Please update if any of you BHPians get any information of the final outcome.

Any safety improvements over the standard scorpio which is otherwise a 0 rated car with unstable structure. I believe our Army men deserve a safer Scorpio N at least.

I wish they would transform a bit more.

Blackout lights and chrome trim make an unlikely pair
