News of this beast comes via Michael.
Just when you think it won't get any worse on the roads of America and they won't make anything bigger than the H2 along comes this monster. I certainly do not want to see this beast in my rear view mirror!! And how about this quote, "It's not going to fit into the standard garage," said Mark Oberle, a spokesman for Navistar, based in Warrenville, Ill., outside Chicago. "We can see it a as a vehicle for business people who want to make distinct impression. For personal use, it's for people who want to make a statement." A STATEMENT!? How about something like, "I'm a selfish bastard and I don't give a damn about my neighbor, my fellow motorists and whether I kill them or not! I don't give a hoot about rising insurance rates, resource consumption or the environment... JUST GET THE HELL OUTTA MY WAY OR BE CRUSHED LIKE A NUT!" But with a $93,000 to $115,000 price tag we aren't likely to see but one or two in our lifetime. Larry, you and your Mini Cooper better beware!
Looks like something Jack Burton might want to drive! Almost reminds me of a semi - maybe it's for people with truly huge egos!

Posted by: Jaime on September 13, 2004 10:41 PMYou're right, darn (to be polite!) what the hell is that for??
not only that will kill even more people on the roads but also will spend a gallon to go a mile and polute even more, what kind of idiot design that? probably the same kind that will sell the family house to buy it (because has to have "a" larger one thatn the neighbor)

Who in their right mind would want to buy one of these things? Ugh. And I thought the Hummers were bad enough.
