Studebaker XUV?

What do you guys think about this? Looks kind of like a hummer, but the front is not as boxey. Looks like GM is pretty made because of the simularities. Its not really a ford but uses a triton v10 and i think has an optional diesel engine.

There's a link to the site for the XUV. Personally, the only thing that I did NOT like about the Hummer was that it has a GM engine and drivetrain. Maybe this will be REALLY impressive! Something almost exactly like a hummer with a big Ford engine stuffed into it, this could get really fun! I bet it has the same price tag (if not more) than the Hummer, though...

That thing is pretty cool but is hard to believe they can get away with building something that close to looking like the H2. I guess imitation is still the sincerest form of flattery.

I think that the H2 is the ugliet vehicle ever put on the road. Ranks up there with the Avalanche and the Aztec as some of the ugliest vehicles, all GM made.

Car maker always rip off the designs of other manufacturers. Its been done several times. They find a vehile that is selling really well and redesign it so that it looks different, but similar at the same time.

I guess that is why GM is trying to stop it from coming to market. If GM wins ... this could close some doors to the future of auto design.

Um exactly how many more Utility Vehicles do we need?

I think by now there is enough vehicle choices out there for everyone to find at least one that fits their needs.

$72,000 for the Studebaker!

How much are the H2's anyways?

Some people will pay anything for these new and exciting vehicles, even if they are ugly as can be.

I think its funny how GM is sueing because of simularities. Remember when Jeep sued them for grille simularities?
