I guess that's a fair price, considering what big SUV's sell for now. I wonder if they will buy some more G-wagens for the "lightweight" needs?

Not much as far as visibility to the outside... but I guess that comes with being mine resistant. Surprised to see so much rake in the windshield also - used to seeing military vehicles with more upright ones. Looks like it would be a tight fit inside...

I'd think the angle deflects bullets a lot better. Yeah it does look a little tight. Maybe it goes back inside further than it seems from the outside.
Im curious how the cooling system is protected. It looks like a big target sitting up front. I guess you could do venting with heavy steel zigzag passageways that would let air pass but no projectiles. ?
