Hi Sam,

I think so since the wish list has gone one way and the production has gone the other way

The issues like GC, FFRA, IFS are the main cause and ofcourse the expecting price (600K plus) also a matter for a Jeep.

I'm re-thinking now and will wait for an NGCS disposal by Army.

hey guys,

The THAR will definitely come to the market. I guess the homologation and other issues with the government [apparently it is BS 4 complaint] authorities is taking its own sweet time.

The time for a product to hit the market after its initial perception at Auto Expos is generally 6 to 12 months.

Parm · 14th February 2010, 16:05

ETA is diwali launch.

Expected price to be around 600k rs with choice of adding more sugar to the vehicle.

it will be a vehicle to keep for life. your grand kids will drive it.

Can we expect a hard top option?

I saw a Mahindra ad with the Axe in the picture alongwith other vehicles. Can we expect the AXE to his the production soon?

@Parm: Very funny

The ETA is fine, but price is not yet finalised!

Behram, Vinod, Fazal,

Like many others, I too am waiting eagerly for THAR! I wish it meets my price points along with the 4X4 jaunts in Hyd(Fazal will help me here!)

SPIKE ARRESTOR · 14th February 2010, 18:29

getsurya what is your price point? what price can make or break your deal?

Spike

getsurya · 14th February 2010, 18:34

good question Spike, I should have been more lucid in my earlier note.

My price expectations for Thar would be 5.5 lacs to 6.5 lacs on road!!

SPIKE ARRESTOR · 14th February 2010, 18:39

@getsurya, ok what dress level would you like in the 5.5-6.5 L range? dress level means LSD,FFRA,Tyres etc etc. ofcourse some of these mentioned here are governed by law for e.g. tyres

I'm not a hard core offroader like many here but things that I definitely like are LSD and FFRA. And a hardtop with A/C. Hardtop is not a deal breaker but A/C might be as it will be my only vehicle for both long distance highway commutes as well as OTRs

SPIKE ARRESTOR · 14th February 2010, 19:29

@Milecruncher if you have an option of upgrading it to an AC what would you say, because the Thar displayed in Auto expo and Bangalore OTR did not have an AC, but it was capable of being upgraded to AC. I believe you want AC as a factory fitted option right?
