I want to see LAZERS!

I want to see it take off and land in the back of a flying C-130.

looks cool, but also a) vulnerable - no armor, b) weak - no weaponry, and c) clumsy - I imagine getting in and otu of it in a hurry, with full gear would be problematic.

may be great for the 4x4 crowd, but I’m not sure I’d like to be in enemy country in that.

teh origin of the jeep was with Bantam corporation. they ended up with teh contract - to build the TRAILER, not the jeep.

My thought, too. Looks like a silly 20-something concept vehicle designed by people who have never been in combat or experience an IED explosion.
