Has anyone seen an SRV on the road yet?

Equus · 27th September 2006, 14:57

I have seen a couple in Bangalore. How many are/were GM planning to sell these anyways?

Saw a black SRV with multispoke alloys and white light no idea bout under the hood but the car sure looked hot.

Hey dude !
I too have seen the same one a few days back, but the same car first time i ever saw was in the showroom, under the hood its completely stock !!
Other than that i have seen only a few on road, i like the car, but the interiors are very much the same like the optra: Same gear knobs, speedometer, inner door handels, etc... !!

I've seen a couple of them including a rather nice looking black SRV in Delhi. And a blue one near my office in Gurgaon

sidharth_j · 27th September 2006, 16:53

Yet to see one here in Trivandrum. This car is as dead as a dodo!

Have seen only two till now... one was black and the other blue.... but i dont what kind of driver was in the black one coz it was whining in the overtaking lane... (or maybe the car WAS all hype and no substabce

)

If GM wants the car to sell, it should give it a kick-a** engine and position it alongside a Accord coupe etc.

sumitkalindi · 27th September 2006, 17:47

Saw two In shillong, one in its cool blue another Red

iraghava · 27th September 2006, 18:04

Seen 2 - One was an orange test car & the other was a Deep Blue Top-end model. Only one thought reverbrated through my mind when I saw them both - Why??

Saw a Chevy SRV on the DND. It was dark blue in colour and I must say that the car has some presence. But I guess the car is conspicuous by its absence on Indian roads. It is neither a hot hatch like the Palio 1.6 nor it seems to be a roadster. GM got this one wrong but still can make amends as they did with the Optra. A sportier tuning of the same 1.6 engine and shaving-off atleast 2 lakhs off the price tag will help. But don't know if it will still sell. Could be possible that this car is meant for market presence as a sports hatch car for GM and they might just stop selling it soon or maybe start exporting.

I've seen a blue SRV here in trivandrum three days in a row on my way to college . This car is a real goodlooker but the prices are too astronomical.

hmishra83 · 27th September 2006, 20:31

Saw one last week in Dark Red in Delhi. It looks great. Price could be one factor which is keeping the sales down but one of my friends test drove an SRV in Mumbai and he is a fan ever since.

garvit2002 · 27th September 2006, 20:36

haven't seen any of them except the demo car . otherwise spotting a civic is more likely than spotting an SRV

Had seen one ARAI test mule. None on the roads yet.
