Not a big write up...more like an honorable mention; but it's good to know that we're still making lists.

We got this one too:

Yeah i agree. While we made the list, they still can?t resist throwing one or two shots at us in there. People are so stupid; it?s scary to think people who are supposedly educated and others that run this country are so stupid.

I am surprised they didn?t have the KNIGHT XV on any list. Id take that if i could afford it.

"Resilience in this case also means 6500 pounds of porkiness with resulting single-digit fuel economy"

i dont get single digit mpg...
i get 12! so get it striaght. my jeep on 33's only got 10mpg so cheap shots like this are from dimwits.

December 21st is creeping up on us, so I thought I'd check back in on this thread.

HJ H2 I missed this post...but I'm with you, I'm feeling the Aton-Impulse VIKING-2992. I especially like the drivers view and the interior layout. It could use a few amenities and a cleaning (LOL), but very interesting.

i liked it all the way up ntil i saw interior pics.. after that meh...

those are some huge arse tires!!
the size plays tricks on your mind too.. without anythign int he pic to compare it to, it seems like a smallish SUV.. then next to other vehicles, and it dwarfs them.

I agree the interior needs 'work' style-wise, but I just dig the layout. Get some good old American conversion van amenities and a real American dashboard and you're good to go.

I also agree about the scale...once you see it with other vehicles you're like "Damn!"
