    Mercedes Hexawheel

    This thing is just cool! Hope it see's the light of day (of course like all the cool stuff, probably will never see the shores of the U.S.).

    Not sure I get what the purpose would be? Lots of electronics too. Wonder how it would do if I got a hold of it

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    Ha! If the going gets too rough, it deploys a segway, then you two wheel it back to camp for help.

    Approach and departure angles look good. Excellent front visiblility. Sounds like it drives itself though......push button four wheeling? Too bad most people will be asking:"How many cupholders?"
    The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on me.

    Basicly a modern day Unimog. I kind of like the trailer/trunk...use it when you need it, leave it at home when you don't.
    As far as smart car comparissons....nothing is that ugly.

    Well I was going by the rake of the front windshield, and the severely truncated flat backside! Can't deny it has some of the same angles....but yes, it does look way better!

    I think you could convert this (shorten frame, solid axle, push the front axle forward, sme 37 inch rubber...) and have an Isuzu version...

    Interesting. That is one of those things if you wanted one bad enough you could actually build something close to it fairly easily. Maybe Beau should take his Nissan Patrol and custom trailer to make it happen! :P

    I think your money is going to be spent in the computer controlled articulation department on this one though.

    While it is interesting, I would still prefer to stick to conventional vehicles. I saw this on eBay yesterday. Easily the sickest Land Cruiser I have EVER seen. If only I had the time and money.
