Tata seems improving and i will bet my money if they come with a front facing 7 last row. |
Nice - sounds promising! Quote:

Almost all people who have seen my vehicle have been impressed by the interiors. The challange TML faces is poor public perceptin of the company and its products. Most people still have the old Tata Safari in mind and have no idea how much the vehicle has improved.
Different exteriors will definitely help TML. Hopefully, positive feedback from owners will encourage more people to try this vehicle. I expect the new generation fortuner to cost 30 lakh +. The Storme should be able to justify its price in comparison. Except for the Mahindra XUV and Scorpio there is no product which offeres so much for so little. |
Agreed - I found the Storme I inspected in the showroom to be much higher in quality than the Fortuner 4x4 AT I had planned on buying - which is why I held off on it.
The safety issues that the Fortuner has are inexcusable - no real protection for the occupants and the Storme's doors weigh at least 3x the Fortuner's.
That is the reason I treasure my Dicor - been rear-ended 4 times by Japanese-origin designs who had major front-end damage, while my bumper has barely even a scratch!
The highlight was my front driver's side wheel and front fender rammed by a Maruti R - which was totaled with heavy front-end damage, while I continued driving my Dicor for about 8 months before I found time to get it repaired. Quote:

Agreed on this point, wholeheartedly. But this is the way they do things - look at the current design, which is only a modification of the original Safari. Quote:

The second way is to go and get it, which, with TML, is something which I wouldn't really do. Remember the DMF launched with the Aria?? |
One would be smart to wait - however, I would hope that TML tested this enough... Quote:
