Back in the late 80 a local car yard bought the rights to be a dealer for a little known indian car company called MAHINDERA. Basically a very cheap Indian jeep wrangler. Never ever saw 1 on the road. Only a few years ago I started to see adds for another Indian car. That one was called TATA. I actually did see a few of these on the road but now a few years have passed, the adds are gone and so too, it seems are the cars they sold. They are almost all gone. I say almost cos about 6 months ago I sat behind one that looked and sounded like it was 20 years old. Piece of CRAP! Maybe Great Wall will be gone in a few years, maybe they wont, but everybody thought HYUNDAI wouldn't last cos their excells were basically copies of old ford LASERS! Then they released their "all new" EXCEL in the early 90's that raise the benchmark in small car styling and the rest is history. Maybe the new model will be their "EXCEL" and is what will cement them in our motoring culture.
