Impressive, i like it!

I'll take two.

Cool looks like a next generation Humvee I hope they make a civilian version like they did with the hummer.The thing just looks sweet I want one. Plus you can slam it to the ground its like having airbags in it too cool

One cool thing about this vehicle it has a motor or some kind of magnetic motor in each of its wheels so it is four wheel drive look kool and advanced but its lacking a little firepower and armament

There has not been much news about this vehicle for a while.

I think these are same.

I believe they showed that vehicle on Future Fighting Machines, its pretty impressive! The design is reminiscient of the APC from Aliens.

It reminds me of the craft used in Aliens Part II esp the wheels. Looks like it could kick some ass!

I loved the APC they used in that movie the way the turret slid back for air transport. The only thing that didnt look good for it was its ground clearance but it was a movie so ill overlook it.

By the way Aliens 2 was the best one in the series though I have hopes for ALiens vs Predator this summer

I couldnt stop myself from posting a pic of it sorry. The rims look kind of like that on the shadow

Maybe it was designed for "urban" fighting where everyplace is leveled and paved.

Arnold Schwarzengger will be the first one to get it!

Who gives a ****.

This is the worst part of this site, ****** like yourselves getting ******* about military hardware.

Surely there are sites dedicated to this sort of ****?

"Alien" was a far superior film to "Aliens", not so for the intelectually challenged.

I'm not surprised some of you think "Aliens" was the best of the bunch, you can't get passed the firepower aspect of the movie, without knocking one out.
