right now, my dream car is a VW Westy morphed into a Death Star shuttle, with a powertrain resembling the one in the Chevy Volt VII, and some French-Girl Cheerleaders for ... ah... "stewardesses." Needs a reliable adjustable suspension ht. too so it can corner then "jack up" for off-hwy use. Since it will have light wt. ceramic based wheel hub motors, we can dispense with portal axles.

Let me revise that a tad -- let's have the French Cheerleaders be from the Province of Normandy, so they [1] appreciate the USA more, and [2] have some good Viking DNA for that Blonde Snow Goddess look. Still French tho. Very very French.

That sounds like my dream car, Webby! The electric Caddie looks pretty cool, too.

Dang, that Cadillac is kind of pretty!

Got to agree with Eric, though - the rocker assembly ahead of the rear wheel won't make over any kind of pothole.

Looks like this is the 2nd vehicle to be released using the designs originally seen in the Chevy Volt.

that thing is sweet!

instead of the 19s, I think 18s with a little more sidewall would be better.
