Re: Chrysler accuses M&M of copying Scorpio design
I wonder why they've suddenly woken up after all these years! The Scorpio has been around for a while now. Do I smell something fishy here - aren't Chrysler tying up with Tata?

Did they ever accuse Suzuki also, for the Gypsy 1000 grille?

Well Mahindra and Mahindra is planning to enter the US market soon, maybe that’s why.

Who cares! Chryslers suck anyways. As for Jeep Grand Cherokee, on snow it was sliding more than my front wheel driven monte carlo!

I am not a fan of Jeeps anymore after that!

All depends on what you're looking for DG.
There are lots of places (especially in Mahaan Bharat!) that Monte Carlo will not be able to take you to!

for that there is always the trusty Gypsy! or maybe a M800 Intercpetor which has been lurking around on BCMT these days!
