    This car is a waste of money. I doubt this is a vehicle that can last 15 to 25 years or whatever the average vehicle expected life span is.

    I have never seen one in real life but I’ll be honest, this looks pretty cool. I also have seen mbkhd talk about how well this car drives; especially for a truck. I see people rave over cars that to me look like giant toys (I admit I’m not into cars) but this is something straight out of a video game world.

        That’s disappointing to hear. All of its “wow factor” come from its cyberpunk aesthetics.

          What makes it not work imho is that if you see the real thing you immediately realise it’s just a skin shoddily put on a conventional car base. Like a wig, if that makes any sense. The form doesn’t follow from its inner workings so to say, it’s like a costume.

      I’ve seen three in real life now. It’s smaller than a Dodge Durango and looks silly from most angles. Low angle camera shots make it look neat though.

      I’d be a little surprised if they even lasted 5-10 years without a crazy amount of money spent on keeping it running, they seem to rust or corrode if you so much as look at them wrong (never mind all the engineering/design disasters that went into this ridiculous thing).
