At first I thought this was eBay. But then I realized it couldn't be eBay because then it would have been $49.95 with $283,020.05 for shipping.

Is this using the same platform as the Acadia and all it's platform siblings? That front facing shot really is reminding me of the Acadia. Not that this is a bad thing, but does GM seriously need yet another crossover in the lineup in the same category?

@Dwegmull, preview free since March 2009.: Where you at? I saw a lovely black one this week in San Jose. Had never seen one in he flesh before. It was a looker fo sho.

If Jeep ever makes their EV Jeep Wrangler that thing is going to be horrid because of all the weight of those batteries. Plus it's only a matter of time before someone takes on on the Rubicon and pierces a battery and leaks toxic goo everywhere or causes a massive brush fire due to a battery explosion. The damned…

@lelander: Hence the SFPD investigating.

@tonyola: If you ever get the chance, visit the Blackhawk museum in Danville, Ca as they have at least one Hispano-Suiza on display there. That might even be the one there you picked. You are right, they are stunning works of art. The copper on it too is just outstanding.

@ambidextrous pj134: It's inevitable. Anytime I mention this concept car, the one car buff in the crowd will always mention the Daytona Coupe. Not that that's a bad thing, as I do thing that was a looker in it's own right. But it just doesn't quite do it for me as it doesn't seem as proportionally balanced. The GR1…

I still am waiting for anyone to release anything, even a concept that catches my eye they way the Ford Shelby GR1 did. God that thing, ugh. Ooooh, yeah. I like it.

@ambidextrous pj134: Somehow, I suspect you've not visited fleshbot before.

IN my sad little diminutive corner of automotive land, it has to be whatever exec it was back at Daimler Chrysler that canned the Jeep Gladiator truck project. Whomever that is, I wish them a thousand genital warts.

But I like nuts.

@wrx-tyrannosaurusWrx: And the costuming is excellent. I need to find my toddler a helmet, anyone got leads on where to get Simpson gear in toddler sizes?

@Triborough: I'm hoping it's twisted shards of metal.

Somewhere in the UK, Jeremy Clarkson is horribly conflicted.

It will be complete only if it blasts bumpy electronic dance club remixes of all those classic ice cream truck tunes.

@RoboRed is sipping a cup of tea while watching the world bu...: Yeah, they would have done much for highway beautification efforts had the actually hit that thing.

Suggestion for a new post series - Ask Jalopnik. Here's why I suggest this. I so badly want to retire my hubby's '03 Accord commuter and replace it with one of these baddies when it comes due in the next couple of years. And I need help in convincing him of the wisdom of this decision.

@HDC: Really big. Compare the height hear. [www.automotiveaddicts.com]

Just to be a detail Nazi, that's not the Topkick based PoTUS limo you have pictured there. The real Beast is much bigger in every proportion.

@X5SoB, Obsesse...: We also lead the nation with the worst government accounting, EVAH!
