People aren't really that enthusiastic about vehicles
More than half the driving population doesn't know how to drive properly
Indiachan was/is a subset of people
America is the best country to be born in if you want to enjoy cars
Europe and Japan probably follow up close by
India even if you buy a fast car where are you going to drive it we have barely any tracks, we have like 5-6 race tracks in the entire country I think. Highways are boring to drive on, anyone can drive fast in a straight line
That's where people find their comfort zone, zig zagging through traffic, calling themselves enthusiasts, bragging about their skills
If something that resembles a sports car is ever launched at affordable prices it is going to meet the exact same fate as the KTM bikes, chhapris are going to do chhapri things on it, only this time more innocent people will die
You talk about the mStallion, good idea, there are a lot of combinations that would have worked well but nobody attempted them.
You don't realise it but a car is a big luxury in our country
Though I can't say I have ever met a car owner who doesn't like driving
You probably had a car at home since before birth or very shortly after
I would like to see an actual sports type car but I really don't want to get crashed into by one, people are retarded and cannot drive and have misplaced notions of what to do with those "enthusiast" vehicles. If something like this is launched I hope they price it so most people would buy a creta instead
The closest thing you can get to an enthusiast car at ~20L is probably the Polo GTI, ik it's fwd but what can you do
I don't even want displacement or power, just make something low to the ground and rwd/awd
The cappuccino has a 600 cc turbo engine, they could do something like that
>They just need to develop a chassis. Put some seats in it and sell it for <20 lkhs.
I used to think this way in school, but launching a new car is not a small thing to do, you definitely can't use the adverb (adjective?) "just" before it
You have to test it extensively, get permits, set up supply chains etc etc you're out 10s maybe 100s of crores by the time you end up with even a prototype that you believe works well, even is it's "just" developing a chassis, and you take like 5 years to do it too, at least
Mahindra especially has taken a bunch of Ls with their recent launches, no one bought the marazzo and their other new cars sans the Scorpio and the XUVs
No one wants to take that risk, but one day they will, and it will open up a new market
Until then Alto me petrol daalo aur chalate raho

I wish we had really really good public transport. I like driving cars and riding bikes but I don't like to commute. it would be better to use vehicles for weekend joyrides instead of commuting in them sitting in traffic for hours.
