Although this vehicle doesn't look a lot like the H2 you can tell that that's what they had in mind when they were designing this thing. The only thing I like about this car are the side mirrors, don't ask me why. The front of the vehicle reminds me of the 96/97 Escalade or the Yukon Denali. This is gonna be a hell of a gas guzzler and I can't wait to see the reactions of the environmentalists when they start advertising for this car. But I don't think North Americans are going to choose this over Hummer so I don't think they will have much of a competition, but I could be wrong. But 425 Hp?!?!? now I like that.

wasn't there a legal entanglement between GM and Avanti rearding the design, a while back? i thought avanti pulled the plug on the Studebaker.

Never really heard of that. But if they did, better business for GM.
