What's the purpose? If that's a military vehicle, it's horribly designed.

It seems that engineers keep forgetting that service folks have to actually get in and get out. Good lord. You'd have to strip your gear to fit in through those fucking doors.

 

[MotF Bane]

That design screams prototype.

It's a yuppie assault vehicle for intimidating the other Prius driving Moms in the school zone.

Don't I know it; with my fighting order I'd have to shimmy side-ways and barely make it. With battle ready kit I'd be lucky to make it out in a minute; imagine those who are bigger.

Not to mention the windows make no sense.

It was shown on TG a season or two back.

Conquest Vehicle's Knight XV

Aren't those the Humvee replacements?

Look closer

 

[destrekor]

looks like a prototype for the JLTV program (Joint Light Tactical Vehicle), which is in the process to find a replacement to retire the HMMWV.

And it looks absolutely terrible. Manufacturers shouldn't be looking to win awards in the looks department, because with most things military, looks should not even be concerned. Too many manufacturers attempt to make things look "futuristic" when fielding new prototypes, and it often hampers the overall effectiveness.

Look closer

I take it back!.. It really does look nothing like it.

 

[SparkyJJO]

What's a "vehile" ?

that was the vehicle I thought it was at first, but I couldn't remember what it was called or who made it.

I was talking about real soldiers. :sneaky: :awe:
