...By the end of the year, Mumbai-based conglomerate Mahindra & Mahindra — best known outside India for manufacturing tractors — plans to launch two-door and four-door compact pickups that would compete with established brands such as the Toyota Tacoma, the best-selling compact truck in the U.S., and the Ford Ranger. Powered by clean-burning diesel engines and tailored for U.S. buyers, prices for the as-yet-unnamed pickups will range from $20,000 to $30,000, says Pawan Goenka, president of Mahindra & Mahindra's automotive business. The company also plans to launch two SUVs, called the Scorpio and the Bolero, in the U.S. next year....

 

So what is it...$14k or $20-30k? I've heard both. Personally, I think $30k is a little ambitious for an otherwise unknown carmaker from a third-world country. They have a good reputation with tractors, but pickups is a whole other matter. It will be interesting to see how they do the first year or so out.
