Beats me I think it's just another plastic fantastic, I would like to see what the final product is, and see if they have one with ground clearance, different wheels, and perhaps a sense of solidity in it, 4wd of course, I really don't like fwd van, too much mass in the back to really handle well IMHO.

But the Caveat to all of that is that I am far from the typical new car buyer, and unless I find a way to keep from choking on plastic fumes I am unlikely to buy new.

I like the Cat Rack right up behind the windshield but hate the giant blind spots forward of the mirrors. I notice that the Sesame Street version doesn't have the blind spots. I also hate the glue on fender flares ........... looks like they want to make it look cheap ass GM for some reason. Those fender flares make it a great vehicle for scheduled rust out. That's it ................ Oh! I forgot ............. They Suck.
