Disclaimer: I r ignorant
A hybrid car would be the last thing I'd want to submerge in water. Am I just ignorant or is that a valid concern? It does look pretty cool, tho! |

Diesel hybrid, it takes a country that is known more for crappy tech support than it is for building cars (granted their tractors are not half bad) to actually get it right. Diesel Hybrid FTW!!!!!
And it actually looks pretty good too! mbs627: That safari snorkel is more for getting to clean air when driving on dusty roads than it is for water. I would imagine that the electric portion of the hybrid is pretty well sealed against water, dirt etc..... anyway. |

Why would this be a problem? Motor is probably hermetically sealed. Even if it isn't, the rotor would be sealed, with seals on the forward end and back at that transmission. Stator windings are also wrapped with insulation. Like all wiring, water is not your friend, but neither is running any vehicle submerged all the time

FWIW Ignorance is not a bad thing, it just means you don't know the answer yet

About time!
Everything you need nothing you don't.
If they infact do show up on US shores with a 50 state legal light duty diesel truck and or SUV. For sub 30K I'll be taking a very serious look also. They will have the market all to them selves. Still can't believe Nissan hasn't shown up with a solid diesel Frontier or Pathfinder yet. Leave it to India to actually deliver what Americans have been asking for - good milege durable and affordable midsize diesel truck and SUV. |

Local Mahindra dealer says --
Local Mahindra dealer said that they had a long talk with the Mahindra suits about their ability to sell the pickup and SUV -- the suits told them only if they open a seperate location specifically for the pickup and SUV. Mahindra dealer wasn't happy as he said that he will be buying a truck for him self as soon as they hit US shores.
Shoot might be a nice breath of fresh air going to a tractor dealer to buy your truck or SUV vs the glitzed out BS filled dealer emporiums we have now. Just saying Mahindra shouldn't cut their current tractor dealers out of the loop. It would be pretty damn cool to buy my next Truck or SUV from a tractor dealer. |
