Yes, Rick. Crunch zones, impact tests, rollover tests, etc. Agree.
But even my 1999 Dodge seemed more like a truck than my 2003.
If a Powerwagon is going to be designed it is not about making it look sleek with perfect curves, aero dynamic, comfortable, cute, or high tech. A hummer H1 (yes H1, not H2 or H3) that is on the road looks strong. Let me use some descriptive words. Words that should come to mind - tough, purposeful, ROBUST, strong, slow, heavy, built, specific purpose, special purpose, rugged and even sinister/menacing (not threatening -but capable of more than an average SUV...like the modern slang use of "nasty")...that's all I am saying. The old Powerwagons look like a truck. A no frills working machine. Is it possible to meet all of the standards and still look like a truck? That is the question. ...And be reasonably priced.
