Been trying to visit the website, not opening. Obviously there is lot of traffic. Sireesh silk board has the vehicle it seems. Not sure whether they will start the test drive today. Their showroom launch is at 3 PM today. Wish to go, but I am in isolation, since one of my colleague tested positive.
Deliveries start from Nov 1st.
I'm in two minds about going to the dealership (Coimbatore) for the 3pm launch - they have a LX Diesel Manual Hardtop for test drive, but I'm told that considering the expected crowd, better to plan the TD later.
Wow !!
Spot on pricing by Mahindra. Now I need to check the options for luggage modification and run to bank for SBI magnum car loan :).
Cant wait to checkout the THAR in flesh.
Parking my used car search on hold for a while.
May keep the good old figo for city run abouts and thar for trips and adventures. Having been to Ladakh twice on my enfield, cant imagine how much fun it will be with family in a Jeep. Am grinning stupid:
After Jawa launch, this was the one which created so much hype and lived up to it. And even now if people complain, god save indian car industry future.
Hope she wont mind the logo change from below pic lol:
I wonder why Petrol Automatic Convertible is 10K more than the hardtop, where as a diesel automatic convertible is 10K less than the hardtop.
The pricing is damn competitive is all I can say, it will give a hard time to already low selling Gurkha and V-cross. Many prospective owners of those two might make a shift to thar for its looks:D and longer features list.
Disappointed that both the car dealers here in Hyderabad have only black color as the option. I wanted to see the Rocky beige and aquamarine
They seem to be accepting bookings for Rs 50,000/-. Test drives mostly next week only or for the booked customers

There is a mistake in the prices of the Petrol automatic you have mentioned, it’s vice versa for the Petrols. Hard top is 10K more than the Convertible irrespective of whether petrol or diesel.
Pricing is as expected; I had predicted an on-road price of 16 - 17 lakhs for the top ATs and that's about where they landed. Am so damn tempted to go buy one today & am needing all my will power to hold back :D.
After checking out the convertible today, I think it will be my choice because I love open-top Jeep'ing. Looks better in person than I'd thought. On the flip side, Mahindra has priced the convertible too close to the hard-top. There is no way it costs as much; basically, we'll be paying a stiff premium for the convenience of opening & closing on the go. Still, I'm not complaining because the convertible is truly a unique arrangement. Removing / refitting a regular soft-top is a pain.
I don't think it is as well-priced as BHPians are thinking. As I had predicted, Mahindra has indeed gone for profits. 16 - 17 lakhs is a lot of money for a vehicle with severely restricted usability, poor highway manners, 2 doors, a 4-seater with little boot space and very few amenities (by current standards).
Pro-reviewers Aditya & Vid6639 this morning:
Great pricing by Mahindra clap: ... thanks for bringing such an aspirational product to the masses, I feel this is a Game changer, no doubt.
Like GTO said, I also wanted to wait till end of next year to bring one home, but with this pricing I am not sure whether I can wait that long stupid:
Mahindra will win it big this time. I hope and pray that this model succeeds and customers enjoy the car. Many of this forum's members have felt that the car prices have become detached from value in recent times, and the Thar shows why. A hatchback like Sonet costs more than a real SUV with 4x4 like Thar.
I will buy the Thar and am already saving up for it.
Wow. So you guys have been working overtime. The Gloster and the Thar. You have your hands full with the two most anticipated launches :-)

Absolutely brilliant pricing by Mahindra clap:
The competitive price points, together with the wide range of variants presents a fantastic matrix that makes the Thar extremely irresistible to those who want it. In fact, that group now has no credible excuse not to buy it.
If all the excitement and intent to buy that we have been seeing on this forum and elsewhere actually translates to sales on the ground, we are soon going to be seeing the Tharification of our cities and countrysides :D

Take a bow GTO :thumbs up . Truly a nonpartisan opinion there. Not easy when you're already flabbergasted by the new Thar and still wear the hat of a reviewer. And true to team bhp ethos clap:

Just noticed the 18 inchers has a whopping 226 mm GC. So the 16 inchers may handle better and one has to be on the guard with 18" at speeds and avoid pushing it too hard at corners, it anyways isn't a corner craver though.
