Funky! It doens't look very sea worthy to me. I'd be afraid of choppy water and waves.

Yeah, looks like it may capsize pretty easily in rough water.

It's not a photchop. Car & Driver had a review on it a month or two ago. There are actually pontoons that get extended from the side, so what you're seeing isn't fully marine-readiness yet.

Might be a good thing to have in Florida, no joke.

Truly the most worthless, (and variation on oldest), invention of all time. Like all amphibious vehicles, it's a terrible boat and a terrible car, (RV), but it does both. For the price of this POS one can buy a good boat and a great RV, with enough left over for a nice house in most states. Sheezus.

Speeder, you are so right. I like your common sense.

This one does 125mph land and 45mph water. http://www.watercar.com/photo.html

What if it had a nice shaped hull and big engine, was towable by semi, and had a pull-out deck system?

It's for real. I've seen several reviews on TV and print...

(If it's on TV, it must be true right?)

Seriously though... If I had a spare mil and lived in the right place, why not?

Did any one look at the amphibious SUV, there is actually a vehicle uglier than a Pontiac Aztec!

Perfect for those Florida vacations

Here's the amphibious vehicle I want, and it has Porsche heritage:
