Spacious and Stylish Car for Big Familiy

The scorpio has shape characteristic of SUVs, its big, its chunky and has loads of road presence. This design has been an eye-catcher among SUVs and has bagged many an award for its styling. There have been no changes done to the shape of the Scorpio. Mahindra though, wanted to bring some distinction between their previous models and this new one. Hence, this new scorp now has an air intake on its hood! No, its not the same types that you will find on those big supercharged American muscle cars, sorry; this one is sealed shut and meant for just looks. There are also changes done to the rear end of the Scorpio; it now has a huge tail lamp cluster running all the way from the roof to the bumper! Just like the Indigo marina you think, but you would be wrong because the top part of the lights don't actually work! The contoured tail lights also call for slightly different rear panels. Going through Mahindra's site, I came across something called the Air extractor!

Surprised as I was, I checked to see what it was; Its actually the plastic around the last of the side windows and guess what, it has holes. Seriously, Mahindra could really have tried better tricks to impress costumers. Many other minor cosmetic changes include a new style bumper which has air dams! Add on on spoiler ans ski racks to boot. Perhaps now, Scorpio owners will finally benefit from the extensive wind tunnel testing of the Scorpio which rendered the bonnet scoop completely shut! I don't mean to be hard on the Mahindra engineers and their redesign effort. It definitely is good and I'm glad to know that they have fast tracked their development program, unlike their competitors. But, I really hope that the marketing guys at mahindra exercise a little more discretion in their promotion efforts.
