I hope the Indian Thar will be different than the Thar Adventure in terms of GC & Diff. ratio. May be its still far away, but atleast we can hope that after this event, the negative points of the Thar Concept will be taken care in production version. May be we can see the Exhaust package more in line with MM550 i.e just in line with chassis level. May be we can all say "Sabar ka fal meetha hota hai" ![]() | |

NOPE- It was as beautiful as a Bride, stowed away from all the men, safely inside a Shamiyana (tent). It was revealed later in the evening, I missed it completely... | ||

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() Guys, none of you have driven the Thar, don't go by normal Jeep experience. This is a very different animal. I want to hear Behram's answer since he has driven it offroad. Quote:

![]() They could have got it to Palace Grounds instead could have got more eyeballs there, why bother taking it to the trail? | |

Which is exactly the point I was stressing on yesterday. One vehicle, capable of off roading, comfortable, fast (and these 2 words hold the key here)long distance cruising, easy to drive in the city and on the highway, good looking, completely customisable, selling for 6 lacs is a dream. The only competition it has is the Gypsy to a very negligible extent. With proper marketing, this will become the Indian Hummer. Behram Sir, You ve got a winner in this, just sell it the way it is supposed to be sold and there is no looking back. ![]() Quote:
Why wasn't it driven on the trail, well reasons of policy beyond control I guess. | |

![]() Edit... Just looking doesnt show its capability. Only part wishes were fulfilled, I dont even think many experienced offroaders got to Meet Behramji and Thar toghether. We had Behram in the trail, but the later last few hours of day had many 'seniors' slog it out @ recoveries as Marshals. I dont think the much expected 'Warne Vs Sachin' AKA 'Arka Vs Behram' happened at the Thar Tent. Would have loved it if it took place... Last edited by svsantosh : 25th January 2010 at 17:29. | ||

Yes, I understand many people could not interact with Behram Sir as much as they would have wanted to ( and that includes me as well) but I guess that happens ever so often to all of us, no? | |

M&M had the Asst Project Mgr, incidentally a THBian too, at the venue who was instructed by Behram Sir to collect all the feedback given and follow it up with the folks at the R&D Center at Nashik. ![]() ![]() |

| ![]() im really liking the discussion going on in this thread after the Thar Adventure was shown in the bangalore OTR. i really liked the way M&M and Mr. Behram got the vehicle to be showed to the guys in OTR and get their feedback. remember guys this is just a bling bling show case vehicle, your positive criticism and feedback will enable Mr. Behram to provide us with a better vehicle. |

Nobody except M&M driver drove it yesterday, not even Mr Thar. Yup crossing fingers and what not for this! Quote:

Hummer vs a popular Honda sedan?? Do you know that car is the second important "family purchase decision" made by Indians. Do you think any manufacturer is equipped right now to educate, change this??? to make 1000 numbers with Thar a quarter at the indicated price? DKG had a point but think about India, where you me and him are a bloody minority! Now after thinking for 24 hours, i think i also will NOT buy if its 7 lakh on the road, though i can afford it.

2) Real offroaders already have their machines ready and not many were really looking at adding more. Interested people were more new b's who wished to initiate into the world of offroads rather than real offroader. 3) You missed the 20-20 at lunch, but i felt it really didnt make any sense especially since it was not really an open discussion. Replied above + believe you and me Bherahm is sharp! even without an assistant he has got most of the points that he was interested in. ps: Thar desert earlier was a bad atempt at humor, which i dont think anybody except Samu got! Its actually the goat from which the vehicle name is inspired from ![]() Last edited by Jaggu : 25th January 2010 at 22:52. | ||||||||||||
