I can't believe what an IDIOT that guy was.

Back to the Studebaker XUV:
<< independent carmaker Michael Kelly plans to introduce a 5,900-pound mega-SUV so macho he calls it an "extreme utility vehicle," or Studebaker XUV, at the Chicago Auto Show on Feb. 14-23.>>

First off, this can't be a serious consideration for production. And second, at 5900 lbs he just misses the weight required for the tax loophole.

Hmmm...title of this thread...

Could have been "Another Hummer?", "Copy-cat Hummer", "Where did they get this design from?" or "look familar"..

but no...it had to be something with a little bit of an edge: Move over Hummer. The implication being????? Poor choice of words...or was it?

Musky seems to have some wolf hair under his sheep outfit? Yet he contends to be here due to an interest in the H2.

Jim, I thought the same thing. If I can't write the thing off through my company; I'll be damned if I buy it. I will stick to my earlier post that they are trying to make a suburban version of the H2. The rugged look with all the soccer mom room!

Kind of looks like SuperDuty from the front. Seeing as the article says it has a V10, I wouldn't be surprised if that's what it's based on.

Anyway, who knows WHAT they were thinking.

I think if that guy wanted to make any money, he'd bring back the late forties bullet nosed Stude. Now THOSE were cool.

I was talking about the front of the Trans Am wanna be; but the other isn't appealing either.

i was under the impression that studebaker has been out of business for quite some time. Does a parent company own them?

Orange H2, Lux package, back-up camera, xm. Not bad for first ride, eh?

Yeah, back in the 60's when Stude folded, there was a group of Avanti enthusiasts who refused to let the car die. They bought the rights and the tooling, and continbued to build the car for years after that. I think it went in and out of production over the years as the company changed hands.

Or something like that.

I was surprised to see this article, I didn't know they were still around.

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by muskyman:
the Hummer is a compilation of a number of other vehicles, so in some ways its also a rip off vehicle.

just to relate why I started this thread I thought that people here would be intrested.

to think everything is just an attemp to piss people over here off is just crazy.
<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Thom....you seem like a nice guy and all...but let's not kid ourselves about your motives. You could have chosen a better title for this thread: "Check this out!" or "A wannabe Hummer?" or "Here's a unique design" or many other titles. But no....you chose something with a bit of a kick: Move over Hummer. "Move over" as in...something new and better has come along. It's psudo-offensive....and let's not pretend it's anything other then just that.

Also...many cars have a variety of parts from other manufacturers...even the H1 has a multiple of Ford and Chevy parts in it. It's not big deal.

Since you've posted here I've watched and for the most part it would seem your absolutely determined to make certain that nobody is too impressed with the Hummer. I've heard nothing good from you about the H2....and your very quick to point out weak designs and flaws.

I wanted to believe in you, I really did...but I checked out the discoweb and found that you are basically the wolf who can walk amoungst the sheep. Those children over there are almost stalking our forum...determined to belittle us and rub our noses in whatever they can possibly find. You yourself are personally responsible for lifting LOTS of stuff from this forum and bringing it back to them to show off.

If nothing else, psychology teaches us that people insult other people in order to feel better about themselves. Why do you suppose it's so incredibly fascinating to you and your buddies to campaign such an assualt on our forum?

well....you have to admit it does look a lot like the H2....except it seems a bit narrower, a bit longer and has some strange Dodge Ram front look slightly dialed into it.

I'm not surprised GM is suing. I don't think they should bother...who's gonna buy that thing when it cost $15K MORE then the Hummer and isn't a Hummer?

I don't know what's sadder...the fact that I have this attitude, or the fact that I'm right?

Although....it wouldn't surprise me if some of our new forum-buddies won't jump right in and tell us how the Avanti-thing will beat the pants off us offroading and is leagues ahead of the H2.

It depends: Is the new Stude SFA?

Plus, you gotta admit that 2x4 rollcage is badass.

Muskyman, we must've been neighbors at some time. I live about 3 minutes from the now-gone Brook Stevens Museum and spent many an afternoon there admiring his collection. The former "curator", Alice Preston, now runs Camelot Classic Cars in Milwaukee. Just thought I'd say hello.
