I agree. I haven't seen one in the flesh yet (anticipating it) and wasn't so sure when the covers came off, but now I think it really looks the part for the market segment it's targeting. It really looks more like a proper SUV jacked up like that with the Airmatic.
Can't wait to see these puppies with bush gards on and what not.

Edit: They mention a 45 state diesel version, wasn't Bluetech supposed to be legal in all 50 states?
