Indian automaker Mahindra will be soon be expanding into the domestic market. It will be offering a Toyota Tacoma-sized diesel pickup truck, likely to be called the Appalachian, in 2009. By 2010 it'll be followed by a diesel hybrid version, the first hybridized diesel to be offered in a production passenger vehicle. The straight diesel will deliver 145-150 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque while getting 30-35 mpg, and the pricing is expected to be in the low 20's (tack on a few thousand bucks, and a better mpg, for the hybrid). According to Pickuptruck.com, an importer involved in the deal promises that the new truck will not be "Chinese junk," which makes a certain amount of sense, given its country of origin.
