interiors looks damm neat for such a segment vehicle.
PS : imagine the black coloured version with low pro alloys

safari_lover · 19th June 2007, 16:30

its really very neat..
hope this will replace all those 3 wheelers, which r driven like james bond cars!!

safari_lover · 19th June 2007, 16:37

It looks very neat indeed..
Do they have any hardtop version too?

man23ish · 19th June 2007, 17:57

This is going to take the Rural India by Storm.. Also, i will not be surprised, if within two years time, all the Bajaj Autorickshaws will get replaced "Magically"..

Tata has some good Photoshoppers, I'm sure.

Why couldnt they put a fibreglass top (a la Roplas for Mahindra Jeeps) at least? Why this tarpaulin fixation?

This will give tough run for the share autos in Chennai which are currenty custom made from raiding the parts bin of many commercial vehicles.

The image is clearly altered digitally. Looks good. We cannot expect that finish in flesh. Tarpaulin top is to keep cost low and also for immediate switch over to a load carrier.

extreme_torque · 19th June 2007, 20:27

Isnt it expensive at 2.60 Lakhs Ex-Showroom, after all its a 2 cylinder 16 bhp engine?

I think those pics might be that of Tata Magic. Its built on the Ace platform, isn't it?

1100D · 21st June 2007, 01:05

So interesting the Light catcher line. It was always present in Ace and I used to think why? But somehow knew Magic will make use of it!! So much for long term thinking. I bet this was conceptualised in parallel with the ACE.

Making those fibre tops is a cumbersome process. It involves putting layers of material and waiting for it to dry. Not the best option if you are planning huge volumes.

i saw a hard top one yesturday,i have a feeling it was modified, but it was a hard top and somehow could completly gel with the body,i wonder its its a new development.has anybody else seen it?

A better option would be a one piece plastic top & that can be produced in large volumes too.
