The GIO could prove interesting. I could see municipalities using it for light maintenance such as in parks

The municipalities in Holland use similar utility vehicles, from Suzuki and Daihatsu, with an 800cc or 1 liter engine, for the park jobs. They are so narrow that they can drive over foot and cycle paths.

Interesting. Theres a bunch of dealers, but some states are only served by 1 dealer? THen a place like Florida has 17? Montana has no dealers!
I figured states with a farming and ranching base would be among the easiest to establish dealers when your trying to sell a basic, diesel truck. Especially considering Mahindras name in tractors.

Well...it IS Montana...
kidding.
From the looks of the map, the drug run from Florida to New York will now be performed in Mahindra pickups...by far the highest concentration of dealers in both regions. And dealers of the Mahindra trucks, too...
funny, I know. I'll be here all week...[/cricket chirp]

At this rate....
Whats going on at Mahindra? How long can it take to get these trucks on the lots, at least for test drives.
They'd be wise to do a selective rollout to a few of their best dealers. If they dont get rolling soon theyre going to be considered "Vapour-ware".
You have to wonder if theres more here than meets the eye.

I am just not sure of the market for this truck. It is not a looker so it must sell on performance, so where do the buyers come from. I see work commuters that need a tough truck from time to time but still want great mileage. You can buy a lot of gas with the extra money that you can save with another full size vehicle that cost $16-18 or even 20 grand.
