Hmm, you never gave me something when I came to meet you in Mumbai, because I have come in a train instead of Storm

Good Idea welcoming our member with the Real and True SUV !!

TATA knew that true auto enthusiasts are getting storme updates on TAI and other forums since long back, and, they are awaiting the storme inspite of competition models already at display.

So they might be afraid of decrese sales of old Safari and Aria by laymen buyers.If advt. comes on TV ,the old safari buyers were likely to hold on the purchase till storme comes for display and TD.hence no advts on TV, IMO.

@all

Iam with Sanjay and his storme and Dharmesh is on his way ,we clicked many pics will update soon.

[THE XOVER]

Even though based upon all the reports until now,its looks like Storme is heading towards right direction,but still Tata should continue to improve it.

Here is my wishlist for what more they may do to make this into further complete package:



1. First of all for GODs sake launch 4x4 option in lower variants,what sense does it make to call it a real SUV and then confining the 4x4 option only for the highest variant.


2. A top of the line ZX variant which should have all the features like Aria Pride: available in 4x2/4x4 models at around ~14 to 15 lakhs ex-showroom INR.


3. A 6 speed Automatic variant like Aria A/T.


4. A 6 speed manual gearbox.


5. And finally a 3000 cc/ 200 bhp engine that should produce atleast 500 NM torque.

This variant should give good fight to the likes of Pajero,Fortuner,Rexton and Endeavour.

VX 4X4. There was no option to select color until the vehicle is launched.

It's raining stormes here..
Congratzzzz every one who got the delivery as well as those who booked the REFINED BEAST
It seems TML saving money in the ad & marketing front.
@ XOVER;
As per the earlier product launches from TML those 6 speed auto/manual will not come soon
in Storme. TML is such a company that when they have good products they don't try to improve it rather than having cosmetic upgrades as well as feature list. I must say they are so lazy in these things. Now they try to sell the storme for next 5 years without engine/transmission upgrades. When the sales come down they start thinking how to revive it but by that time new products will emerge as market leaders...
Hope it will not happen in case of the STORME

congrats for the storme you will enjoy it.

Here are expected answers from TATA in the same order.

1) well Mr.Xover , do you want us to sell (sale) old safari @40% discount? If no, then what is your plan of action for it?

2) wait till next december

3) wait till next to next december
4) wait till next to next to next december

5) five more decembers, please , what! ' no', the atleast 3 more?

As all of you know , we have habit of launching limited edition s, facelifts.

Nice pictures Raja, Lumia did great job of capturing those images but I thinkg editing was overly done. BTW, which model is that? 4x2/4x4?
