Why would they build showrooms and dealerships that will be unused for nearly a year?
I've read about Mahindra's planned products and I don't think average consumers will want to buy them any more than they're buying Sprinters. They should sell well to businesses that need no-bullshit trucks that can get work done. They are physically a little on the small side, I think more like a compact pickup; they have small diesel engines that make a decent amount of power; and they have HUGE load and tow capacities for such a small truck.
Truck sales are plummeting because people who don't need huge behemoth trucks don't want to pay for that much gas. Mahindra's line ought to beat that problem and may compete rather well. Time will tell.
They did have an American company design and build the interior so that we would be comfortable in them.
