Thread: Tata pickup

I just saw a new pickup badged Tata. looks a bit like a SSangyong but the first one I've seen here. Aren't they a Indian company? I'd be interested to find out more about them.

Yes. They own Jaguar too.

Yes Indian but have some factory in Thonburi, a bit more here

Wonder how much they cost?

Why would you be interested to found out more?

Indian crap built by Thais

It looks wank.

Why to see if they are as crap as I think they will be of course!

We had a Tata thread a while back with some examples of their deathtraps.

I'd love to see Top Gear review some of their models.

And another marque as well isn't it, Range Rover or something? I seem to recall they brought out two (or am I thinking of that Chinese Co.?)

Yeah, Chinks I think.

TD did review an Indian manufactured car. Don't think it was Tata though; something that was made under license and sold in the UK, a Ford something-or-other I think.

It was apparently so craptastic that the maker knew it would get slated so wouldn't give them a demo version/ James May had to go undercover to a dealership and take it for a test-drive. The salesman was with him and he was driving along talking away doing a 'review' without clueing the guy in - he was no doubt getting some odd looks!

Though the chinese bought Rover, not Range Rover.

wrong Tata I presume ...................

^ never mind, she adds value to the thread, even though her legs are fat

So they are importing a crap tata pickup from India and not the Royal Enfields? Disappointing. Very disappointing.

Tata owns Landrover and Jaguar
Anyone got any prices on a 4 door pickup?

Indian versions have fuller chassis

^ How does that compare (roughly) with the Toyota's, Mitisubishi's etc? Favourably I'm imaging, but substantially so?

doesn't look worth it

^^
About 100k cheaper for the four door

But after three years depreciation will probably take a big dent out of that especially if it proves to be less reliable than a Toyota

Any pictures??
