I'm amused and embarrassed. You'd have thought this would have come from oil-rich, lifted-one-ton-4x4-in-every-driveway Alberta, but you'd be wrong. I'm still stunned it's a Canadian product to be honest. Coming to a dope dealer near you...

Sadly no. It's "inspired by military vehicles" but sold to your neighbourhood pin-dicks and those with ego issues.

Exporting to Texas I presume..... ;)

Ahh it's never ending is it, the whole green thing just seems to have inspired larger vehicles over the years.

It would seem as engines get more efficient that the bottom line of say 12 mpg (whatever) is still acceptable as a basis for purchase so they just buy bigger.

I imagine it's so the Prius it carries around in the back & has access to the loading ramp gives it some green cred.
Oooooor not.

Looks like a Ford Class 5 F series wandered too close to the set of a Transformers movie.

Looks like a child's rendering crudely built up. I doubt anyone with a better than moron IQ will be purchasing one.

Maybe that thing is secretly made by Hummer in an attempt to persuade 'greenies' to buy H2s!
The Hummer does suddenly look almost......acceptable in comparison: like a G-wiz next to a Range Rover. :D
