    Ok, what the hell is this?
    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

    Looks like the offspring of an armored car that mated with a hummer.

    I was thinking more along the lines of inbreeding between a Yukon, Hummer & a Commander

    Did you all not look this up to see the Studebaker XUV?

    They were in a lawsuit for a while with GM. For some reason GM thought it looked like an H2 - go figure.

    Personally if I had to get an H2 I would get this one instead.

    Other shots of the big one:





    Once again I would get this one any day before I would get maybe a suburban.

    This makes no sense. Studebaker as been a defunct car company since the 60s when they went out of business.

    There is a company that tried to make an udpated Avanti in a couple years ago

    http://www.cochassislassies.com/cars/marilynavanti.jpg

    But it was a kit car based on a Corvette body- and it was a re-styling of pre-existing body style.

    It looks like they are taking some GM body (probalby a Hummer, thus the lawsuit), and just replacing body parts.

    But this looks NOTHING like any old Studebakers, so kinda wierd.

    I used to own a Studie, in case you were wondering.
