I like how it says 'spy shooters'. As if someone hid out in the Arctic Circle just to take some pics of a car. LOL laugh.gif

actually someone probably did hide just to get that shot. The photographer probably made anywhere from 10-25 thousand dollars depending on how many auto magazines bought it from him/her and how "in-demand" knowledge about this car is to the people who publish those magazines.

Less torque than a HMMWV though chuck wink.gif

Yeah this thing looks crappy right now. There aren't many wagons that I like, and it doesn't look like this is going to be one of them.
