So writer of the article has $hit for brains - and so do I.
Thanks - I guess....
The few Mahindras I have seen on the road (very rare) look like this. I guess it is cheap and usually day laborers are riding on it.

Bias Ply tires, Leaf springs back and front, hinge doors, flat windshield - not exactly the epitome of modernity, is it? Only ode to the twentieth century is the ugly plastic fascia and headlamps - which will crack in no time from UV exposure.
But Mahindra sales people say - as a construction vehicle you can fix it with parts bought from a roadside stand!
That is no respite because by the third year the engine is gone and so is the body, rusted to oblivion. Unless the plastic fascia goes first, erm - no guarantees there....
This wraps up why Mahindra vehicles don't sell where better options are available, they are throwaway objects and bad investments with no good return on the money spent. It may be king of the road in India, but that speaks more about choices available in India itself, than anything else.
