[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 913012, member: 12952"] Mahindra was the Indian company. They promoted it as a small diesel pick-up that would get 30mpg. Unfortunately after spending millions on testing and making their vehicles conform to US standards, the EPA only gave them a low 20's mpg. Still not bad for a truck made out of real steel, the body panels would have been twice as thick as a Tacoma's. Currently their EPA certification expires this Dec. 31, so it is highly unlikely that we will ever see them here. Also there are some legal issues between Mahindra vs.the importer, and Mahindra & their importer vs. the dealers who invested funds including building separate facilities to house only the Mahindras. I really wanted one. [/QUOTE]
