| ![]() Just went through this months edition of Autocar it has an article on an Offroad session where there is a comparison between The Audi Q7 , Endeavour, Gypsy ,getaway And off course last but not the least the Major Souvenier. Its mentioned in that article that the major Souvenier is a SWB Jeep. |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() In that article they have mentioned the price as 5.4L for the Souvenir. They conveniently omitted the fact that 1.95L more is required for the souvenir conversion. |

| ![]() I am not sure this is the correct place to ask this but...are there any rumors worth repeating about what M&M or any other manufacturer has coming for 2009? After reading so many posts here in this thread I find myself in the "same shoes" as so many others, looking for a good mannered, good quality 4x4 for under 8 lakhs or so. |

but, 5.5 ex showroom for a dependable , basic 4X4 is not bad. I still have this mental block against going 2nd hand. | |

| ![]() Behrams been dropping plenty of hints. I would bet that Mahindra is coming out with a basic 4x4 in the near future. |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() Yup, a niche 4x4 will never enjoy the volumes and resultant economies of sale to keep the price competitive. Just look at the Gypsy's retail for a 20 year old design. |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() I think if Maruti had committed to putting a good Turbo Diesel in the Gypsy it would have sold in much larger numbers, given the over all refinement compared to jeep alternatives. |

The 1st pic is of current Major & the other pic is just the same, but I kind of changed it with MS-Paint ![]() (As I couldn't shot the pics of it at the plant itself) Sorry about dumb explanation though. Was just a bit excited after seeing it. | |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() offroad_maniac: Don't mean top sound rude man, but you looked at the picture of the Souvenir and thought it was based on SWB Classic, so forgive me for being skeptical about a SWB jeep from Mahindra. |
