^ Yes - The showroom has delayed the delivery date as well, for my friend, by 2-3 weeks. Keeping fingers crossed.

I hope the production version doesn't have the push-up bra that was put on the launch vehicles.

Hello all ,

No of attempts by various vehicles trying to complete the climb and were succesful in last attempt.

^^ Did you forget to mention that the tyres you are running on are almost worn out, and that you did this twice in a row, and both times in single tries?

The plastic is for real - I thought it was a show gimmick for the launch.

I wonder how much it would cost to replace it with the standard Gurkha/Trax grille/bumper et al.

Score 1 for the Thar - at the very least there isnt anything you want to remove from it...

Actually, there is a lot. For starters, the bumpers, break VERY VERY easily on the Thar. I have seen this happen on at least 5 different Thars now.
However, this is not the thread to start comparing.

I am sold on the vehicle..i know the drawbacks but still it has huge advantages also. I would most definitely change quite a few aspects of the vehicle.

Most definitely the really ugly (in my personal opinion) front plastic grill and bumpers will go. I hope to replace it with the front look of the Gurkha with round headlights of the past whichwas closer to the G-Wagen DNA.

The interiors look pretty decent so far. I hope to see the vehicle in the flesh sometime this month and i promise to upload a whole lot of pics the very same day.

The fit and finish looks pretty good also. I hope some good colors are on offer. I would love a Military Green. The grill is a definite no no. I want to shake the lead designer by his collar!! Thankfully he did not meddle with the earlier look much. All he did was murder the front end which should not be too difficult or expensive to put right.

It seems that the car designer did a Koena Mitra/ Minissha Lamba Plastic surgery to the vehicle.

There seem gaps in the fitting of the interior panels, but, these won't take away all the capability of the vehicle IMO. I shall eagerly wait for your update on the vehicle.

Million-rupee question....will this be made available thru the regular dealers or the ones who deal in Force One ?

[007 Bond]

Dear this is launched through Passenger Vehicle division hence force one dealers would be offering 3S to this product..

[TheTeacher]

How family friendly is the Gurkha? If one has a proper sedan for city use, will the Gurkha make sense for going to exotic tourist locations (where the 4x4 aspect will come in handy) in a Gurkha with family? The Force website is woefully silent on comfort features.

Thanks.

Please watch this, the girl doesnt know what kind of Cylinders she is talking about!

And when it comes to the COO (corp sales & mktg) of FM talking about Gurkha's competitors, he has not done his homework!
