Mahindra, is looking for a facility to manufacture its diesel line of pickups. 

While Chrysler and GM shutter dealers and plants, Mahindra is acquiring former dealership lots and shopping for a place to assemble its pickup.

Pickup, what in this crowded market in a downturn?  Well, Mahindra the tractor builder produces the only diesel powered truck smaller than a 3/4 ton, read big pickup. While the NUMMI plant in CA has ust come available, I suspect the various CA problems will make them wary it would me. 

Presently Mahindra is centered  in Georgia. 

Moral, one company distress is another's opportunity. Hello globalization. 

I find it very interesting that Mahindra sees a niche for a smaller diesel powered pickup while Toyota surely regrets though will never admit it, their decision to build a large gas powered truck.
