"Rob Swim, International's marketing director, said the 5-passenger CXT will appeal to image-conscious contractors, roofers, landscapers and other small-business owners who can use the towing power but also want to draw attention to themselves."

included in that would be men with very small penises and women who need to show up other soccer moms.

"Anybody can lease a Hummer now for $500 a month. Soccer moms are driving them," he said. "This is not a soccer mom's vehicle."

Although i'm willing to bet that soccer moms will jump all over this thing, just because it's bigger. Just what we need.

What will they think of next? A tank SUV? Hmmm.

With its dual metal treads weighing 3 tons each, this vehicle rips up the street. Literally. It will tear the asphalt from the ground, flinging it on your unsuspecting tailgaters. At a price of 250,000, with the mantadory 5,000 driving school extra, this SUT is aimed at the soccer mom type who fears for the safety of her children and also has a blatent disregard for every traffic control signal and other car on the road.

Includes a FREE cell phone!

[3.4 slow to go]

looks like a shortbed duece & a half,w/a Dodge Ram front end.

i am still waiting for the ultimate vehicle -- the space shuttle. not only is it unsafe at any speed but refueling between trips is $3,000,000. not just anyone can afford to drive a shuttle.

That's our next pickup when the Dodge dies.

Can you immagine what you can tow with that bad boy? :D

You could tow 4.34 f-bodies with that:

14,500 \ 3,340 = 4.34

LOL, I could buy a BIG flat bed and tow an SS, a Formula, AND a Z28 to the track. LOL.

think about 3 MPG... friend's dad's 1969 firebird, supercharged, blower hood, and about $20,000 worth of other parts that i can't even remember. front wheels lift off the ground with ease. he sold it last week for a brand new Z06. he used 1/2 tank of gas going to the movies in it.

I thought the big ford and chevy diesels were already much bigger than the hummer, and they also get 7mpg. Wow id just buy one of those
