Interesting CJ-7 look-alike. The solid axles and leaf springs make it closer to the original, too. In India, they had been building their version of
the Willys or Kaiser CJ -3B Jeep for ages.

We'll never see them here. And they only have 62 horsepower and go 45 miles/hr.

Buy one in Phoenix:

Might be good for my Baja Beach Ranch......if I had one. 
But, there's a catch:

Very cool! Cheaper than a UTV and would be great for bussing around the beach.

For $30k you could buy a couple of nice pre-owned Jeep Wranglers

The link in the original post said it will cost around $15K. But you're right, a used real Jeep would probably be a better buy.

The Mahindra wont be available for long. If the courts get a decision soon. The Jeep corporate has already filed the infringement law suit.

Lots of good 4wd vehicles have leaf springs in front. They drive fine. Go look at Land Rovers, land cruisers, etc.
Woke!

How do you decide which handle to post under at any given time?
I notice you delete posts from both pretty often.

My old stock LR ‘72 series 3 could run circles around your late model Nissan you imagine to be great because you put a set of overinflated truck
tires on it. The greatness you imagine is actually the kidney damage you are experiencing from heavy LT tires on a 1/8 ton pickup 
P.s. show me the money, old man!

Poor loser you don't even know how to drive a stick shift . You wish you got 33mpg on a pickup. As all on here know you dont know anything about. Off
road or 4x4s to add to this. The new great tires are not E rated the Old P rated tires at 2,600 pounds. The new 3,033 pounds very little difference.
Plus since the side wall is 33in tall tire V 31.5 the ride is great. Whos the stupid one now as norm you MT666. LR 72 back in the day as tested . Was
declared unsafe voted worst 4x4 in 72 JAAAAAA I love it when you put your foot in your mouth.
