Mahindra plans to launch two vehicles, a pickup truck and a sports utility vehicle called the Scorpio, in the United States in 2008, said spokesman Tom Persons of Alpharetta, Georgia-based Global Vehicles.

“We are looking at pretty aggressive
volumes,” Persons said, but he declined to give a specific
target.
He said Global Vehicles will announce more details in mid-April.
Formed in 1945 to make Willys Jeeps in India, Mahindra has cornered nearly half the market for utility vehicles and is the world’s No 4 tractor maker. But it is among the smaller automakers in the global market.
This is a reasonably homely potato — along the lines of earlier Suzukis — but, the diesel-electric drivetrain option is intriguing.
Of course, the critter I’d like to have for shopping and errands, commuting around town is their 1/2-ton Champ Alfa.
