The feeling is difficult to explain to most babu's living in luxury and opting for the less difficult choices in life. You'll know the feeling when you listen to the call of the wild..

I totally empathise with you said. Unfortunately most people in India seem to be buying SUVs to tell others that they have a bigger vehicle. Yes there are a few die hard off roaders, but who will want to really abuse a 15L + vehicle? In Indian conditions I do agree that the Mahindra range of jeeps is good. The 207 in it's export trim seems like a good ooption too. I am waiting to get rich though.

Some rather interesting observations, no offence intended, but they provide for hours of laughter:

Mercedes M5 (umm, Mercedes and an NA.. or wait, have they taken over the M-division at BMW).

Range Rover Discover (I know i am being a bit hard, but Discover or Discovery?)

Ford Fusion (Crossover pal, not an SUV)

BMW X5 (I hate to say this, but it isn't an SUV, its an SAV- A Sports Activity Vehicle-ala Honda CR-V) But i guess its still valid here, so no probs.

Yeah you are right bro, But i never suggested to go for a 15L+ vehicle.. As you rightly pointed out, the Mahindra Range of Jeeps and the 207 DI CrewCab is available for 5-6L and are pretty good at what they are meant to be. They are not your cozy comfy vehicles.. But real beasts meant to be taken off-roads.

And Didn't you forget the Maruti Gypsy?? I wish it had the TUD5 diesel in it though..
