That Mahindra diesel truck

The series of delays has pushed back the introduction of truck in the US. Do you guys think this truck is a stillborn? There were claims of fuel mileage of 30 mpg and higher. I think 30 mpg would be low considering the promised common rail injection, turbocharged, small-displacement diesel.

I want to buy a smaller truck to fill the gap between a car and 3/4 ton truck. The small Toyota trucks are overpriced. Ford Ranger pricing seems reasonable with its higher depreciation rate, and I don't think the Ranger gives up much with regards to durability and reliability. The other option is waiting for this Mahindra truck to arrive. On the other hand, the company has no track record for trucks, and I'm leery of buying the first models.

BTW, I think the truck is ugly as ass, but I'm not buying for looks.

Mahindra?
