New Scorpio AD

DRC · 22nd March 2006, 23:41

Saw, Scorpio ad in TOI bangalore today (yes I read newspaper in night)

Looked very interesting. They say a very cushy ride. I dont kno if that meant handling is further screwed up!!!

But as always, when a new car release, I was so temped to go and book one. But did not do

Had been to test drive Scorpio today, the scoop seemed to be more of cosmetic.

Is the Scorpio pickup displayed in the showroom? Saw one on the road in Bangalore yesterday (all Black).

Nope, All I could see was a white scorp with a mirror in the rear end to show the new suspension. AND no 4WD

. OTR for Topend is 964K

I am no expert in writing the reviews( so not writing in reviews section), but the test drive, which was a short one, was a kind of scary.

It had a huge powerful engine. started with a lotta a vibration. but after the start it was very silent. It really pulled lotta torque.
Suspension seemed to be soft and at a speed around 60 80, which it achieved very soon, it felt very pitchty. and as usual lot of body roll.

The interiors were really well laid out. I liked it a lot. Can immprove on quality though. Doors closed with a rattle.
