India's Mahindra Corporation has announced plans to import two of its models into the United States starting next year. First is a pretty basic pickup truck costing in the $17-$19,000 range and second is a traditional Body on Frame SUV called the Scorpio costing in the low $20,000 range. It may sound like it is competing with some heavy hitting cute-utes from Toyota and Honda, but this truck is more the size of a Land Cruiser and features a high torque diesel engine under hood that gets gas mileage in the 30mpg range. Or so the theory goes. The other question mark, of course, hangs over how advanced is the quality of a truck manufactured in India. If you want to have a look at this new rig, go to this site...

I think it is going to be hard for them to sell cars....They arent a common name in the US and people are not going to want to buy them.  Its kinda like how Daewoo came and is now gone
