| ![]() @Arka airbags were introduced Monkeys of years back when did they start coming into road cars in a regular manner? Also it has been mentioned time and again that the vehicle displayed at the auto show was a concept and not the final intent one, atleast i can say that BOM has never been quoted as a reason for not doing anything. One of our team members owned a RCL, a CJ340 some time back, not now though @72 bullet had you told me 3 years back that "Bolero comes with a SFRA with 53" that would have been news to me ![]() Spike |

I think now it will become difficult to justify IFS for Thar. So it is clear that IFS was chosen to please 2wd customers more than 4wd ones. If this is true then fair enough- No complaints! Just one request- Give 4wd versions with solid axle leaf spring just as you do with Invader and Bolero. We all would be happy! In fact so much of resistance wouldn't have come if IFS was chosen for Bolero VLX 4wd, but considering what Thar aims to be it needs solid axle on 4wd versions! @ 72 bullet One more quick question- Does Nepal's Bolero double cab have full floating rear axle? What ratio? | |

Why isn't the SFRA on the THAR being changed to FFRA? (Y/N) 1) BOM 2) ARAI 3) CMVR Can I safely say, that the M&M Thar is a Scorpio with a MM540 body shell, designed, by people who never owned a MM540 or a NGCS MM550XD or a JEEP(Bought it off-the shelf/second hand) who also claim they are avid off-roaders/jeepers. But I guess the above is the same with most companies......the designing bit. So this Thar is not for the JEEPers, designed by JEEPers, from the JEEPers. It is a typical M&M Product, as they have no competition in the 4wd segment, they will give what they want. Regards, Arka | |

And the point of this is?? If the Thar is not going to cut it as an off-roader, why should anybody on this forum wait for it and even think of buying it? What does it have on the MM540 besides highway cruisability? Members on this forum have modified their MM540s to be more capable, powerful and faster than the Thar is going to be. | |

What is that extent? And your statement reflects Mahindra & Mahindra's philosophy, best -- To Some Extent (, not fully though) = HALF MEASURES. Regards, Arka Last edited by ex670c : 3rd March 2010 at 16:06. | |

To be fair to Thar at least in this department i don't think there is any MM540 on Forum which is faster than Thar. If you are talking about Arjun rudras vehicle then it almost costed him as much as a new Scorpio! Plus it cannot boast the stability of Thar being a SPOA. Common guys don't rob Thar of its On-road abilities at-least! ![]() @headers- Your Gypsy is superior and is built over years of hard work.It can do rings around any thing why Thar? (Nice way to kill the controversy no :-P...LOL) p.s- Now would you pay 6 lakhs plus for a new off roader with compromised off road capabilities and enhanced on road abilities?- Its entirely a personal call!
