FCA looking to block Mahindra

[us17094]

The fact is that many of us (not all of us) loved the idea of a UTV with a rugged steel frame and automotive manual gearbox and transfer case for a price not that much higher than a Kawasaki Mule. The fact that it looks like a Jeep was a bonus. I still would have bought it if the body looked nothing like a Jeep.

if FCA is dang worried about a SIDE BY SIDE.. why don't they just make a run . or rebirth of the CJ2A , just with updated safety. & have IT OFF ROAD only.

Because nobody would pay 32K for them....LMFAO

Hell, looks like they have an answer already. Just put tube, flat fenders on her and let'er rip COD!

 

[Spanky]

I totally dig those stacks too!

I also wouldn't want the OEM built in chihuahua warmer in my 32K 4500 lb UTV

There is somewhat of a potentially untapped market here although one that The Man would likely quash.

Imagine all the oddball 4x4 vehicles out there that could be sold as ATVs. Russian UAZs, British Land Rovers (doesn't India produce a version) and Brazilian Bandierantes .

Time to stop complaining about what has happened. It’s not over yet. Email the president and make your voice heard. He has the power to veto. He wants Michigan in his corner and he likes jobs. He isn’t a big fan of the car manufacturers and their outsourcing of jobs. Get busy folks. I have already made my voice heard. A few thousand more might make a difference! whitehouse.gov. Get cracking, time is short.

Good idea! I sent a tasty one.

My thoughts exactly - I also sent one. Nothing to lose right.

So has anyone seen a statement from MANA? I don't see anything yet on the roxoroffroad.com page nor the Roxor fakebook page.

That would be a possible decent outcome. Keep the Roxor is as (except add a 7-slot grill) but market it under the Jeep banner as an ATV. Continue to sell it through power sports dealers but branded as a Jeep product.

I found an article from the Automobile magazine website that has MANA's response on June 12. Here is the site with the entire article. Jeep, FCA Win Court Victory Against Mahindra Roxor | Automobile It is has some troubling language about cease-and-desist order on importation and sale of Roxor parts. I will also write the President.

I read into it that MANA is stead fast and will continue to fight. Keep sending emails. Tell friends to send emails. Get this on the White House Radar.

where are yo sending these emails to?

where are yo sending these emails to?

Google Contact "the White House' then select "Contact the President" from the drop down then fill in your name etc. then type your message hit "send"
In my email, I stressed points on job losses at the Michigan MANA factory, downstream revenue losses of dealer sales, parts and service and making our vehicles "orphans" with limited or no access to parts. Remind all that the Roxor is assembled with 50% of local content by value. More US jobs affected.

That's what I did...I figured that talking about loss of jobs will get more attention than just talking about importing vehicles and parts.
