Wow. Ambitious plans. Be fine with me if, for now, Mahindra kept it simple and focused on perfecting Roxor's strong design using durable primers, coatings and fittings with rust-resistant metals impeccably fabricated to close tolerances, and then adhered to rigorous quality inspection before delivery, to minimize any unpleasant surprises. After a decent windshield, doors and rear bumper, probably most would be content with the toughest, finest, basic rough and tumble jeep variation ever, leaving fancy add-ons and creature comforts to capable aftermarket suppliers and the depth of one's bank account. Aside from advertising gimmickry, that all makes the early-on introduction of a tracked Roxor modification (which costs more than the basic vehicle platform) a personal bafflement. One glance at that critter is an inadvertent reminder to many of us lowly consumers of the importance, perhaps, in initially setting up a really knowledgeable dealer network (mine was challenged by how to rock the oil filler cap off), getting the fundamentals down pat -- fluid levels right, fasteners correctly torqued, headlights properly aligned, tailgates that close tight, seat and pedal ergonomics worked out, seals that don't leak and ensuring things that aren't supposed to don't squeak -- before moving on to the Roxor Antarctic Swamp edition. Meanwhile, happy to settle for my Roxor Classic and won't in the least be anticipating the arrival of a 4-door Roxor or the stretch limo variation which is likely to follow.
