Premier Automobiles -- Is it still alive??

The roadstar should be an easy match for Omni as a product (not A.S.S). The engine being double the size may not match its FE.

But the Roadstar is a diesel, versus the Petrol omni.

Thats the Van version of the "Sigma". Truck versions of the same are already out I guess (the one before this van on the 3rd pic). Sigma is based on a old Mitsubishi (not sure of the model). Mostly using the TUD5 Peugeot engine?

The rear windscreen says LHD. Guess it's export only? If yes where?

Hellcat.

Premier Automobiles has been selling this vehicle and the pickup truck in Goa for 2 years now or so. it thought it was sold in maharashtra as well.i ve seen a lot of black and yellow cabs of this van as well as many pickups
in goa

GTO · 25th July 2007, 14:20

Yup, the Sigma has been around for a while and is majorly composed of "borrowed" parts. A light from here, an engine from there.....

Its a disastrous vehicle that has no right to stay on the road. Maybe thats why Premier is looking at exports to some neighbouring countries.

If they are not dead yet, we need to

to death again.

Mpower · 26th July 2007, 01:30

Boy, they are taking for ever to launch it. IIRC it had the Ambassador ISZ diesel engine made by HM. They are probably short of funds to start production.

madan80 · 26th July 2007, 10:52

my god - its struggling to even bring out bad vehicles.

in past cases of assembled vehicles (san storm types) the fit an finish have been pretty rough. This seems to be another example?

jkdas · 26th July 2007, 10:54

they also have a mini truck like the ace thing. It was launched sometime last year

smartmundu · 26th July 2007, 11:56
