No guess's Spikee, whats stopping you guys from revealing numbers? I really wish Thar would sell so that version 2 would come out fast at the same price with better build and ac and alloy anddddddd..... we all can buy it and go back to one big happy family!

Umm, good guess

. I just fail to understand who gave birth to the V2, is that you or Khan or Milecruncher?

Arka if you ever desire a brand new mhawk engine I might know someone who can locate one for you along with anything else you need.

I think i had told this here even before the launch. but i did not expect everyone will take it serious after it was launched.

Spike, lets put it like this. the armada had better fit and finish than 540? the bolero was even better than armada? invader had the same finish of bolero? but THAR has same fit and finish of 540. so invader is better or the THAR?

They are known as "Eternally Hopeful" Indian Consumer

But seriously if you can influence a change, do help us get a better executed interiors & AC off the production line. Will mean alot to lot many of us.

Ha, ha, ha, interesting numbers. FYI, there are 3 digit bookings from one state already.

Can't reveal but numbers are really promising.

Spike

so i can take the liberty of guessing what the 1st production batch of Thar CRDe is?

50 Thar CRDe have been built and are selling!

it cant be 100 as MM cant really reveal the number, but are promising!

3 digit bookings mean 2nd production batch might have started!

Puma Canopies - Manufactures a wide range of quality canopies... Search for THAR

These guys made my hardtop, I am very happy

Spikey, don't blame me or the others. Nobody would do anything like spreading heresy over here. But please don't try to get us into a technicality and confuse. Don't tell me you guys are not going on the V2. I have a felling that a better version is already getting made.

I would want one of those :P

Please try & get a new one , don't buy a rusted busted one . ( there is something called as metal fatigue )

This project of yours should be a Thar beater , needs to be perfect

Sudarshan

BTW why NGCS ?

Great review in detail! thanks for sharing.

WHat is that screen thing in the glove box.

The one with the recessed headlamp is expensive by how much??

That's Khan's GPS.

The adventure version price list was not out with the dealer. Basically, the stock version has head lamps fitted from out and the adventure has them fitted from behind giving it a recessed look.

Honestly, the couple of pictures, listed under Mahindra section on their Website, look positively HORRID.

Maybe it's just bad pictures. Please can you let us have some Pics, from your Thar, and how much you paid for these.

Whatever be better in terms of fit and finish, tell me frankly will you buy a Invader or a 540? 540 I guess. How many Invaders do we see on road?

Spike

I'd want to buy an Invader (or Invader like vehicle) with the CRDI heart. I always felt this vehicle was not correctly packaged and priced, for it's time.

Tell me in terms of a Scorpio chassis or a Bolero chassis you want and I'll get our friendly local parts guy to source it. NGCS will be greek and latin to parts guys
