Looks pretty. Will this be just for GO's?

They will get to collect some good data on how well it performs in a tactical environment- minus IED threats and the extra weight of armor. This vehicle WILL NEVER see fielding however, depending on mileage and safety this might sell well on the civilian market. Semper fi.

Don't know why the army is wasting its time on this when they can't find the money they lost to begin with.

I would love to see it up close and see if truly V-hulled and has a stiff suspension. Let's hope the interior is better than the minimalist steel wall and crappy padding.
