Cool, except it's called the "Syn Us" -- or sinus, for those who can put two and two together. |

heh. i guess i'm in the minority for thinking it's kinda cool.
this is the product of integrating psychology with design. the events of the past four years have left a lot of people feeling insecure or afraid at certain levels. having a car that looks like a vault or bank car is often soothing to these people. |

Watch out for the phrase "bullet-resistant". It can ruin your day if you think it means "bullet-proof."

How small are these arms, and why are they on fire?
Is it some sneaky terrorist suicide flaming-baby-attack thing? Does the government know? -Albert |

I could do withouth the neon orange lighting details.
Also, how secure are the wheels, I think it'd be hysterical to see one on blocks with no tires/wheels but all buttoned up for safety. |

most likely that depends on distance to shooter and the makers definition of small arms fire :P
seriously, this looks like a armored up suv. anyone know how much gas this thing burns on a trip to the corner store? im guessing it needs a military wartime fuel budget... |

Well it's already burning diesel, so I'm betting it's got a miserable mileage problem. But, to my everlasting shame, i must confess an affection for this truck myself. If you can't have an Armored car, an armored SUV is just as good. :-)

that would give us an excuse to invade them. "we sold them stuff, this means war" seems to be our battlecry...

it allso explains why they can keep claiming that there are wmds present, they sold the parts and have the paperwork to back it up ;)
cia agent: sir, we are sure that they have wmds, either in testing or deployed. president: how can you be sure? cia agent: we sold them the parts, sir... |

Humf, just saw it in Autoweek as well. Turns out it only LOOKS like an armored car. Its Alum., and with a little engine like that most likely gets pretty good milage, after all, how much can it weigh and only have 238 ft/lbs? Might shrug off a drunk with a .38, or gang bangers with an Uzi, but odds are its AK crunch-able.

Till those guys that trick out limos and such get a hold of it, replace the engine, add concealed armor panels and run-flat tires. Tweak the suspension a bit and make use of that wide wheel base for serious high-g turns.

Call it Armor Rating 3? Christ, just what the world needs, more proof Americans have more testosterone than common sense. If you want protection, buy a real armored car |
