Looks like a metal model on steroids from Toys-R-Us. It might be a prototype of some sort...Mars land rover?

It look's a couple years old, due to the placement of the fog lights. I like the Bronco idea!

 

To hell with chromosomes, Raoul. Give it a shot of testosterone and watch it stretch back out.

I agree. Why? At least it's got a bigger back seat (or so it appears). Kinda neat!

 

Kind of looks like a shorter version of the Ford Equator show truck.

 

Poor truck. <sniff> I can just imagine the reaction my truck would have if it saw that.. that thing. Be like taking your dog to the vet to get him "snipped" and having him aware of what will happen. When will the Ute, Cute-Ute, Mini-Ute, crossover madness end!?

What did the fender badges say?

It does kind of look like the new Explorer Sport. Maybe a prototype of that icky thing?

You're probably right jmartinb, but between that model and the current molded monster I saw on the road the other day, they made a few differences. There's entirelty too much snapped on plastic on that thing to be even remotely utilitarian. The only other vehicle I've seen that much plastic molding on are Pontiacs, and they're hideous too.

I was at the International Auto show in Atlanta 2 years ago and I think I have a picture of that truck only with big wheels and tires, nerf bars and a brush guard in the Ford section believe it or not.
