    It’s India’s finest 4x4 the Mahindra Scorpio. It has the name on the photo link.

    I wonder when there going to have there first Moab meat.
    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

    I love LaForzas. I tried to find a nice one once but couldn't. The interiors are incredible when in good shape, like a Maserati Quatroporte with leather Barcaloungers. They're faster than a comperably sized/vintage Land Rover with the Mustang-type 5.0L, and, like the VX, most mechanical bits are borrowed from other U.S. vehicles, making basic maintenance reasonable. Though, most examples are pretty trashed.

    They did suffer from horrible wheel trims.

    I have inspected and driven two examples. The one was great with a trashed interior, the other had some steering issue that made it difficult to assess. I should have bought the second one, because it was immaculate, but the steering issue scared me away. Another concern is you never get your investment back. LaForzas don't have good resale values.

    There is a really nice one on eBay now, with a proportional price tag. I have seen lesser examples go for $3-$5K.

    But where’s the online community for these rare machines? You’d think a rare beast like that would have one.

    There is a LaForza down the road from me...

    ...what is it?

    Is it a restyle of something or an actual built vehicle?
