My customers have included names you hear every day ... as well as those that you probably never heard. I am watching the launch of Mahindra with interest ... which is why I spend time in places like this with folks like you!<br />.<br />I'd like to know more about your familiarity with the costs of successfully launching a car company. <br />.<br />Soooo ... if you are so familiar with launching a car company ... what do you think that the cost is to do so?<br />.<br />... and please don't budget using the back room at your cousin Elmer's gas station as the parts warehouse ... or your smart nephew Bubba to come up with the service documentation & training program.<br />.<br />FWIW: For what it is worth, I was in Torrance, CA on 9/11/2001 ... talking about the startup of one of my customers' companies in Mexico. The last time I checked, none of the companies you mentioned have their headquarters there!<br />.PSUMBAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2255317900449306559.post-24040996127030772082010-06-22T19:39:53.387-04:002010-06-22T19:39:53.387-04:00Psumba,

How many vehicle importation companies have you launched?<br />.<br />When you look at the amount of time that Global Vehicles has been preparing for the launch ... and all of the travel involved in meeting with all of the vendors involved in the launch, you can burn through a lot of money in a hurry ... especially when you are told by your factory to prepare for multiple launch dates that never happen! <br />.<br />Sorry that you feel burned by the process. If Global's charges are true, you might want to re-direct much of your anger to Mahindra!<br />.<br />In my opinion, this is an epic miscalculation on the part of Mahindra. Car companies sign independent importers for their knowledge of the local market. Mahindra's apparent strategy is that they feel that they know more about the USA marketplace than the Americans. They also appear to feel that they can ignore the "rule of law" and breach contracts at will. The USA legal system is much stronger than that of India. This has "epic fail" written all over it for Mahindra!<br />.PSUMBAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2255317900449306559.post-80941091488366589652010-06-21T03:31:23.232-04:002010-06-21T03:31:23.232-04:00It’s hard to hate a company that understands the b...It’s hard to hate a company that understands the benefits of diesel and is willing to take a risk (since the majority of people here refuse to understand that clean diesel technology has come miles from the ‘sooty 80s’). I hear their engine was co-developed by Bosch, a country that knows a thing or two about autos (VW, Audi, BMW anyone?). Point is, Mahindra is bringing us something new, to a market they’ve never entered (they’re already here with their tractors but that’s an entirely different business). I think people need to appreciate the context a little more to understand why delays in such situations happen. I think for an Indian company with high ambitions for the US market the last thing they’d want is a botched first entrance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2255317900449306559.post-44968230331536048812010-06-17T00:34:10.973-04:002010-06-17T00:34:10.973-04:00Four words: I told you so.
