It's called the Combat Tactical Vehicle Technology Demonstrator.
Reminds me of some of the stuff the Germans Had 60 or 70 years ago. Back to the drawing board I guess.

Damn, they even try to make a fightin' machine look like a freakin' space-ship! Just like these stupid-assed civilian Hummers nowadays. Everybody wants TOUGH, but they want it COMFORTABLE, first! A true "militarized" HUMVEE ain't worth a shit in a civilian setting. Kinda like takin' an Osprey to Wal-Mart, ya' know!
The UGLIER it looks, the more it "phsych's-out" your aggressor!
(Works in suburban traffic, as well! Ain't NOBODY crowds or tailgates the fella with the one-ton Ford, with rusty STEEL bumpers and "battle-scars"---might have to get a tetanus shot afterwards...!)
Oh, and forgot to add---I agree with you on the "old" look. Pretty ain't always functional!
Now, that bottom pic looks like somethin' I could get used to---IF I could just FIT into it, that is...!
The demands of the desert don't change I guess - it does look one of those German jobs...
Bruno - True dude. I'd LOVE to have an old steel beater like that, just for tailgaters.
And Dirtcashr - Yep, very true. I wonder if it could still withstand and RPG or IUD though? Those things take out tanks.
