Google ' Jalopnik Roxor ' and you will see the link for the Mahindra Roxor article... Every time I try to post the link it expands out to a whole page of krap for some reason.... unknown to a simple person like me....

It might be popular as an LSV, a Low Speed Vehicle like golf carts driven in retirement communities. With a windshield, lights and turn signals it meets the federal requirements except at 45 mph it's too fast. An LSV is limited to 25 mph, which is silly considering they can be driven on roads with speed limits up to 45 mph where local laws allow.

If Mahindra could govern down the speed and offer an LSV model, that would be a market niche that might work for them.

Hey JerryK,
Take it from an old IT guy. Use notepad. Notepad sterilizes the "smart" hyperlink behavior that never seems to work right in Windows. Copy the link into Notepad, Reselect it and copy and paste it into whatever. Works much better.

Unless they learn how to do customer support they're doomed in the auto market.

It's not in the auto market. It's a UTV, not street legal, and meant to go against the Mule/Big Red/Rhino. Dump bed is coming.

Interesting, but as another poster indicated, without a dump bed, etc. I wouldn't be interested.

Its not copying jeep they built jeeps for the war and have always had the design. This also will not be at your normal Mahindra dealer... its a different branch of Mahindra bringing it in and will be sold at large ATV/UTV outlets.... IMO the new 1000cc 83hp 65mph Retriever is a better choice than the Roxor

I listened to a libertarian podcast the other day where a car enthusiast made an interesting comparison between this non-street legal version and one that is fully compliant with all government mandates... His argument was that having a Jeep clone that has none of the mandated equipent allows customers to see what an effect such government regs have on price. I'm sure there are many other variables and it's not a simple apples-to-apples comparison, but seeing that an otherwise road-worthy vehicle costs 1/3rd of the cost of a similar new complaint veichle is interesting.

If a person does not mind taking their chances with a 25-year old JDM mini kei truck or van, they can be had for five to seven grand, some with air conditioning, and be driven on highways in about 21 states. | Houston Mini Trucks

Since golf carts can easily be made street legal here, I wonder how many of them will end up on the road (legally). I also wonder how quickly our city ordinances will change as soon as one of the high society kids gets run over and killed in the family golf cart.
