Replying to: fintail (Aug 19, 2005 10:12 am) Well, I'll give you a hint.   I just returned from India, and there are only 3 Indian car manufacturers. India has Ford, Chevrolet, Hyundai, Honda, Toyota, Fiat, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Opel, Porsche, Bentley but the blue SUV is from none of these companies.   It's Indian made, and relatively new to the market.

Hmmm...not a Hindustan Ambassador or a Tata...the only ones I can think of right now. Replies to this message: navigator89 (Aug 19, 2005 11:14 pm)

I'm sure this was an awesome car especially with a V16.   I'm sure if the company resurrects itself and makes another high end sports car that is successful, then the original will be worth a ton of money.

Replying to: fintail (Aug 19, 2005 4:59 pm) No it's not from either one of those companies. The company starts with M. If you're really stuck, just right click for a clue.   The Hindustan Ambassador is a unique car. A car whose original engineering goes back to 1955 still being produced 50 years later. When I went in it, nothing about the car would indicate it belonging to the 21st century.

I had to cheat. I've heard of it, anyway   I kind of like the Hindustan Ambassador. It's a real "retro" car. Replies to this message: navigator89 (Aug 20, 2005 2:46 pm)

Replying to: fintail (Aug 20, 2005 7:49 am) Did you figure out the full name of the vehicle?   The Hindustan Ambassador is pretty cool to look at, however it's noisy as hell and the shifter makes an annoying vibrating noise. It'd be pretty neat if you could get an Ambassador with a V8 and RWD!

It's a Manhindra something. I've seen the name in UK car magazines.   I am sure the Aussies could do a good number on that Ambassador. Muscle cars are alive...somewhere

The blue SUV in #2061 is a Mahindra Scorpio.   It's pitiful, this SUV is roughly the size of a Kia Sorento, yet it's engine puts out only 110hp. Put a better engine in, and this SUV looks good.
