Umm, I think Force Motors just changes 2013 with 2014. The rest of the press release reads exactly the same as it did an year back.
I just hope the same doesn't apply to the Gurkha and that Force Motors have made at least some changes based on 'enthusiast' feedback. At least that front end. Please God. Please.

Re: New Force Gurkha 4x4 Test Drive Review
Its an out and out offroading vehicle which has been inherited from MB - don't expect any safety related thought going behind its design, its a pretty old design as well, its built like a patton tank underneath(i mean the tubular chassis) but that doesn't make it safe in the event of a crash. At best it has seat belts because that is mandatory
Remember this is usually a second vehicle for most with the intent of purchase being largely offroading - if you are look for safety equipment unfortunately none in this segment or at this price point have it.
